00:00Fire broke out in those houses in Oton, Iloilo.
00:08According to the BFP, the fire started with an overheated appliance.
00:13The amount of firewood reached more than a million pesos.
00:16Five houses were burned in Isabela City, Basilan.
00:24According to the BFP, three of the families were injured.
00:28As a minor, it is possible that the victims were sleeping when the fire broke out.
00:33The source of the fire is still unknown.
00:37The motorists started to move in the midst of heavy traffic
00:41as Christmas approaches.
00:43But that will not be the end of the search for a vehicle.
00:47It will be the opening of the TNVS that was given priority to the Senate.
00:51This is Joseph Moro.
00:54Sir, I'm sorry, sir.
00:58The MMDA would have attacked the MPV that was illegally parked in Paranaque
01:04but the driver tried to escape.
01:06Are you sure?
01:08He was chased and stopped.
01:11I was just like that because I was afraid of being raided.
01:15You were afraid?
01:17Weren't you afraid of being chased by the enforcer?
01:20Were you more afraid of being raided?
01:22Can you park there?
01:24I know it's prohibited.
01:26If you know it's prohibited, why did you park there?
01:28According to the MMDA, an enforcer of the driver of the vehicle was hit in Libdib.
01:35He was illegally parked unattended.
01:37He should be violated.
01:39Now, because he ran and almost hit the enforcer twice,
01:45definitely reckless driving.
01:48According to the MMDA, part of the clearing operations
01:50to widen the roads is heavy traffic.
01:54In EDSA, there are more than 440,000 vehicles.
01:57According to the monitoring of the MMDA, this is only December 2.
02:01The trip to EDSA is long.
02:03From Monumento to Rojas Boulevard,
02:05it takes up to one and a half hours.
02:07Our roads were never really built
02:11and prepared to handle this kind of volume
02:13and make use of our public transportation.
02:17However, driving is still a problem
02:19for public transportation.
02:21Sometimes, it takes up to three hours
02:23because it's hard to drive.
02:25It's not only passengers who are being attacked,
02:27but also drivers and drivers whose income is being cut.
02:29In December, sometimes,
02:31there are three of us.
02:33The three of us will go around the traffic.
02:35We can get a scooter.
02:37Other passengers in motorcycle taxis
02:39are hoping that the trip will be faster.
02:41But there are those who say
02:43that there will be four rush hours
02:45For the TNVS,
02:47it's hard to book a massage.
02:49Transport network companies
02:51in the Senate said this earlier.
02:53If it's a rush hour and it's raining,
02:55why is it so hard to book a Grab?
02:59We lack the supply of drivers on the road,
03:01especially when it comes to rush hour.
03:03Many are not traveling.
03:05Others are letting the traffic pass.
03:07That's why we need to incentivize.
03:10It's also hard to book
03:12if the passengers are discounted
03:14like students, PWD,
03:16and senior citizens.
03:18It's very clear that we are choosing.
03:20Now, my question is,
03:22who absorbed the 20% discount?
03:24This year,
03:26the drivers
03:28are the ones
03:30who are shouldering.
03:32That's why the drivers
03:34are refusing
03:36because the drivers
03:38are the ones who will absorb it.
03:40According to LTFRB,
03:42they have a memorandum of agreement
03:44with TNC, like Grab,
03:46that they should be the ones
03:48who are shouldering the discounts.
03:50Grab explained that they are just following
03:52Memo Circular 2018-004
03:54where the driver is the one
03:56who will answer the discounts.
03:58Gate Senators, TNC should be the one
04:00who will pay for it.
04:02Grab promised that it will consult with LTFRB.
04:04Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
04:08Mount Canlaon reached the Karatik Islands
04:10yesterday.
04:12In the middle of the calm
04:14of the volcano,
04:16the possibility of a major eruption
04:18is still there.
04:20From La Carlota City
04:22in Negros Occidental,
04:24we have a live report from Aileen Pedrezo
04:26of GMA Regional TV.
04:28Aileen?
04:30Tom, Negros Occidental is now
04:32in a red alert status
04:34due to the effect of the volcano.
04:37Just last night,
04:39there was heavy rainfall
04:41on the southern slope of the volcano
04:43that could cause a lahar flow.
04:45That's why LGUs are advised
04:47to monitor
04:49the low-lying barangays
04:51here in the town.
04:55This part of Baguio City
04:57in Negros Occidental is now in a red alert
04:59due to the eruption of the volcano
05:01yesterday.
05:03Guys, it's so scary.
05:06I can't see the road.
05:08In La Carlota City,
05:10there are no roads.
05:12The DPWH has already started
05:14cleaning up the ashes.
05:18The towns of La Castellana
05:20and Murcia are also affected
05:22by the ash fall.
05:24According to PHIVOX,
05:26the ash was removed
05:28and reached Gimaras, Iloilo,
05:30and Antique.
05:32Other ashes that are far away
05:34have already been removed.
05:36It means that due to the strong wind
05:38and the ash fall,
05:40there are still ashes
05:42that are far away.
05:44Some residents are not going out
05:46because of the danger
05:48of the volcanic ash in their homes.
05:50The only thing we can do
05:52is not to go out.
05:54If you go out,
05:56your back will hurt.
05:58The alert level 3 in the volcano
06:00is still high.
06:03There are 54,000 people living
06:05in the 6-kilometer dangerous zone.
06:07On the other hand,
06:09some residents of La Castellana
06:11chose to stay at home
06:13or work in their homes.
06:15Ma'am, we can't go out
06:17because
06:19if the volcano
06:21continues,
06:23we will get sick
06:25and die.
06:27Of course, they are hesitant
06:29to leave their homes.
06:31We are talking to people
06:33because even if
06:35we are forced,
06:37we need to give
06:39a balance.
06:41The volcano is quiet today
06:43but it doesn't mean
06:45that the problem is over.
06:47According to our analysis,
06:49the magmatic eruption
06:51of Canloon is preparing.
06:53The only question is when
06:55and how
06:57and how strong
07:00the eruption is.
07:02FIVOX is monitoring the signals
07:04to raise the alert level 4
07:06as well as the signs of magma rising,
07:08eruption and eruption of the volcano.
07:10In alert level 4,
07:12all that
07:14could be affected
07:16by the worst-case scenario eruption
07:18has been evacuated
07:20because alert level 5
07:22is merely a statement
07:24of ongoing
07:26worst-case scenario eruption.
07:29If President Marcos is sure,
07:31the government is ready
07:33for a broad evacuation.
07:39Atom, according to DSWD 6,
07:41more than 1.5 million pesos
07:43have been allocated
07:45for relief assistance
07:47to residents who are expected
07:49to stay in evacuation centers.
07:51That's the latest from
07:53La Carlota City.
07:55I'm Aileen Pedrezo. Back to you, Atom.
07:57Thank you, Aileen Pedrezo of GMA Regional TV.
07:59We are waiting
08:01for your Christmas lights
08:03because Meralco has added
08:05more than 10 centavos
08:07per kilowatt-hour
08:09this December.
08:11That's equivalent to 21 pesos
08:13in addition to the bill of customers
08:15who consume 200 kilowatt-hours
08:17per month.
08:19Meralco explains that
08:21the generation charge
08:23they pay to electricity suppliers
08:26has not yet been approved
08:28by the Energy Regulatory Commission
08:30which added a centavo
08:32per kilowatt-hour
08:34since January.
08:36It is not yet clear
08:38how this will affect
08:40the electricity bill.
08:50Some parts of Calabar Zone
08:52and Bicol Region were flooded
08:54even though there was no typhoon.
08:56Falls in Mahihay Laguna
08:58was also flooded.
09:00Some roads and bridges
09:02were flooded
09:04due to heavy rain yesterday.
09:06Also in Tagkawayan Quezon
09:08and Camarinesur, five barangays
09:10in Del Gallego were isolated
09:12due to the spillway.
09:14It is expected that sheer line
09:16will affect the eastern sections
09:18of Central and Southern Luzon.
09:21Fort Philippine Human Rights
09:23Plan or PHRP4
09:25will be used
09:27to be a guide
09:29and to strengthen the rights
09:31of the people in Ilonsad.
09:33This was already turned over
09:35to Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.
09:37In a separate meeting,
09:39some groups protested
09:41against what they call
09:43the current administration's crime.
09:45Ian Cruz reporting
09:47for GMA Integrated News.
09:50The actor who was accused
09:52of accusing Archie Alemania
09:54of claiming acts of lasciviousness
09:56by Rita Daniela was denied.
09:58Together with his lawyer,
10:00Archie went to Bacaor Hall of Justice
10:02to file his counter-affidavit.
10:04They tried to get
10:06an interpretation of the GMA Integrated News
10:08but they refused to comment.
10:10The prosecution also denied
10:12the charges against Laisay.
10:14But most of these
10:16were against the actions of the actress.
10:18Rita's lawyer was also present
10:20when she said that
10:22she claimed that
10:24she was avoiding meeting
10:26her client and Archie.
10:28She said that the actress
10:30is still not okay.

10:38before Christmas, I hope.
10:40It's a Christmas wish
10:42for star Rob Gomez

10:48of Rob and Amelia's mother came to light.
10:50We're still on court.
10:52We're fighting for our time.
10:54I hope that God
10:56will help us
10:58to make a decision
11:00quickly.
