00:00Arrested after cornering the alleged Spider Boy who was involved in a series of burglaries in the houses of Santo Tomas, Batangas.
00:09John Consulta, EXCLUSIVE.
00:15The entrance of this house in Batangas was caught on camera.
00:18His belongings were his cellphone and money, before being shown to the CCTV and to Kapu Muslim.
00:25In this house in Batangas, the thief didn't just steal his laptop, he also did a food trip inside his house.
00:33But when the CCTV caught him, he immediately put a towel on his head.
00:38After the CCTV caught him, the suspect was able to pass by his pickup truck which he also stole from a house he entered.
00:46He even used it to go to Batangas and reached Calatagan.
00:51He already did a lot of burglaries.
00:55He entered a house without a house, without a person.
00:58He entered a house where the owner was sleeping.
01:01He took gadgets, cellphone, laptop, money, even a car.
01:07But at some point, the alleged robbery of the alleged Spider Boy ended when he was cornered by barangay people and the people in this vacant house in Santo Tomas.
01:19What the Spider Boy did was to corner our people.
01:25What our people did was to arrest them and hand over the Spider Boy to the police.
01:34The suspect sent a message to his victims.
01:36I'm sorry. Please forgive the people.
01:42Calabarzon Police reminded the out-of-towners this Christmas.
01:47Let's make sure that our doors and windows are locked.
01:51Let's check thoroughly, not once, not twice, but thrice.
01:54Let's not forget to warn the barangay and the neighbors that you are leaving.
02:01I hope that the recording of the CCTV is hidden so that if someone enters your house, they will not be able to get it.
02:11For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
02:14It's been 24 hours.
02:17Authorities are now investigating the expansion of the mandatory evacuation of those who live near Vulcan Canlaon.
02:26Everyone is worried.
02:28Especially, there is a risk of bad weather next week.
02:32This is Maris Umali.
02:36From the 11-shot volcanic earthquakes of December 9, when Mount Canlaon erupted, it reached 31 in the past 24 hours, according to PHIVOX.
02:49While the sulfur dioxide emission doubled and reached 4,000 tons per day.
02:56But according to PHIVOX, it's too early to estimate whether the alert level 4 should be raised in the volcano.
03:03If the alert level 4 is raised, it means that the volcano will erupt at any time.
03:08We will assess this on a day-to-day basis.
03:11But again, the alert level 3 means that hazardous eruption is possible in the next few weeks.
03:19But of course, we will have to evaluate this one.
03:22We will see if it will escalate further.
03:27The mandatory evacuation of residents living within the 6-kilometer radius permanent danger zone is still in force.
03:34The LGUs should urge the public to prepare for possible alert.
03:38Step up to alert level 4 should the activity persist or worsen.
03:42We should not think that the alert level will be lowered down.
03:48But we should prepare as if the alert level will go up.
03:51The scope of mandatory evacuation is still being studied.
03:55Because it is also dangerous if it rains.
03:58A tropical cyclone is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility next week.
04:03We are doing already a worst-case scenario planning wherein our planning can reach up to 10 kilometers.
04:11When it comes to the worst-case scenario, the extended PDC is already 10 kilometers away.
04:17It can reach up to 139,000 individuals that need to be evacuated.
04:26That will require additional evacuation centers, food assistance, and the likes.
04:35DSWD assured that they are ready to provide services to all evacuees.
04:39The Department of Health has already sent medicines, N95 masks, and nutrition commodities.
04:45The Department of Tourism is suspending tourism activities such as trekking, swimming, and farm site visits.
04:52Especially in tourist spots such as La Castellana, La Carlota City, Bagos City, and Murcia Negros Occidental.
04:59And in Canlaon City in Negros Oriental.
05:02For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maryse Umali for 24 Hours.
05:10Happy Midweek, Chikahan mga Kapuso!
05:12Signed, sealed, and ready to sparkle is the newest addition to the growing family of Sparkle GMA Artist Center.
05:19Let's meet Larson Schatz's daughter.
05:25The growing family of Sparkle GMA Artist Center is already 10 stars.
05:33The first to sign is the socialite and influencer, Kat Arambulo, who is excited about what she can do
05:41because entertainment is a new world for her.
05:46The singer-songwriter, Renee Dominique, whose talent has been divided, is now a Sparkle Artist.
05:55The singer-actor and pilot, Ronil Yang, is also a Sparkle Artist.
06:01His fans have already seen him in Abot Kamay na Pangarap and Pulang Araw.
06:07And now, he's looking forward to other projects.
06:12The singer, Gian Magdangal, is now a GMA Artist.
06:15His homecoming is his debut as a Sparkle Artist after 10 years.
06:22The list of leading men is now added to the list,
06:26the only signer in Sparkle, Jay Ortega and Kevin Dasom.
06:32Jay was known by his fans as Akio of Pulang Araw.
06:37And Kevin is one of the two leading men of Harleen Budol in Binibining Marikit.
06:44Ryle Santiago is also a fan.
06:47And he wishes to be part of a project with his mother, Sherilyn Reyes-Tan, who is also a Sparkle Artist.
06:56GMA shows have always featured talented actors like Arthur Solinap, Carlo Gonzales and Michael Flores.
07:07But for the first time, they signed with Sparkle.
07:11That's why they feel double the excitement in their career.
07:17There are those who are returning.
07:19There are those who have been around for a long time.
07:21And now, they are a part of Sparkle.
07:23We have new status by Sparkle Artists.
07:28And we are very happy to see that they have tried and tested.
07:34They all have exceptional talent.
07:37And they are very welcome to join us in Sparkle.
07:42Lore Santiago updated on the showbiz happening.
07:48The Agriculture Department asked the lawmakers to restore the former power of the National Food Authority
07:56to be able to create funds to lower the price of rice.
08:00The sale of rice by the government will be reduced to 30 pesos per kilo.
08:06And Bernadette Reyes got it right.
08:09Mr. Chairman.
08:10Yes.
08:11Even the Department of Agriculture is puzzled as to why the price of rice is still high in the market.
08:18Even if the price of imported rice was lowered.
08:21And even if the price in the world market is going down.
08:25In the monitoring of the DA, the well-milled rice is still reaching 54 pesos.
08:30And the premium rice is up to 60 pesos.
08:33The price of rice should be from 42 to 49 pesos max.
08:38Or 48-50.
08:39I agree with Mr. Chair that why there is still 50 pesos.
08:44Even 60.
08:45That's not right.
08:47Unfortunately, we don't have the power to catch anybody in the market.
08:52Because we don't have enforcement.
08:56Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chula Uriel faced the camera's monitoring of the price of rice.
09:02He said that if the rice was bought for more than 27 pesos per kilo,
09:07the price of local rice should not be more than 49 pesos.
09:11And the price of imported rice should be 42 pesos per kilo.
09:16Chula Uriel's solution is to return the former power of the National Food Authority to the Congress
09:22to make steps to lower the price of rice and fight the abuses in the market.
09:29The primary mission of the DA, because the NFA removed the power,
09:34is to produce more and to make the farmers profitable.
09:39We don't have power or mission to stabilize prices.
09:45Now, the NFA is only for buffer stocking.
09:48According to the Department of Agriculture,
09:50the National Food Authority lacks more than 6 million bags of rice as a buffer stock.
09:55If the NFA has the power, it can sell the rice to buyers for 29 to 30 pesos per kilo.
10:03In the past, the NFA can sell the stock of rice to the market.
10:11Now, it can't.
10:12It can also sell it to the LGU so that the LGU can sell it cheaply.
10:15Now, it can't.
10:16In the past, the NFA can import rice to address the shortage.
10:23Now, it can't.
10:24It can't.
10:25So, the NFA has a lot of power.
10:28So, Congressman Tulfo asked,
10:31Can't the President just issue an executive order to do that,
10:35to give instruction while we are waiting for the law?
10:39Can we recommend to the President to do an executive order to release him?
10:43According to the DA, they will consult their legal department about this.
10:47For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
10:55Kapuso, it will continue to be cloudy and rainy in some parts of the country tomorrow.
11:02Based on the data of Metro Weather, it will still be rainy in a large part of Luzon.
11:06There will be heavy rainfall in Cagayan Valley, Cordillera, Quezon Province, Bicol Region, and Mimaropa.
11:12Be prepared for heavy rains and landslides, especially in the days when it rains and the land is soft.
11:20Rainfall is also possible in some parts of Visayas and Mindanao.
11:23At the same time, there will be heavy rainfall in Calaon Volcano.
11:27The chance of rain will continue tomorrow, especially in the afternoon or evening.
11:31It will also be cloudy and the chance of rain in Metro Manila is also high.
11:34So, don't forget your umbrella.
11:36For now, there is no typhoon, but the country is still affected by different weather systems,
11:41the shear line, cold winds, and easterlies.
11:45Be prepared for next week, because according to the latest forecast,
11:49there is a chance of a severe storm near Mindanao.
11:54It is possible that it will enter the country, and if it continues, it will be called Caribbean Storm.
11:59According to the forecast, there is a chance that it will approach the east of Mindanao, Visayas, and Southern Luzon.
12:04But, dear viewers, it is possible that there will be changes in the next few days.
12:09So, stay tuned for updates.
12:12The people of Bifar did not listen to China's warnings
12:17when they brought early Christmas to Pagasa Island.
12:21The residents are very thankful, but they have an important request this Christmas.
12:28From Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Ian Krug is live. Ian?
12:35Ian?
12:39Yes, Mel. China's invasion of Pagasa Island is one of the main wishes of our countrymen.
12:46The other residents, like the children, have a simple request before Christmas.
12:54Philippine military aircraft, China Aircrew 08, you are interfering with the security of the Chinese race. Over.
13:01This is China's radio challenge as Pagasa Island approaches the West Philippine Sea.
13:05The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources aircraft did not miss the opportunity.
13:10They have an important mission this day, to bring Christmas gifts to the residents of Pagasa.
13:16There are bags, school supplies, toys, and food for the older students.
13:22The gift of Bifar this Christmas to the residents of Pagasa Island and those who are here
13:28is to show the importance of the agency to the residents here,
13:33especially to the children, that it will be the future of this island.
13:38Some supplies, instructional materials, and sports equipment were brought to their schools.
13:44And each unit that is important and guards our island has a Noche Buena package.
13:50This island is not only a symbol of hope, it is also a symbol of courage and strength
13:58that serves as an inspiration and an example to each one of us.
14:03The island coordinator of Pagasa is very thankful for the gifts they brought,
14:08especially since they are far from the mainland and the family is far from Aguinaldo.
14:13Some residents have a request this Christmas.
14:17We would like to be able to provide additional classrooms,
14:22additional instructional materials for our students.
14:28We would like to have our own permaminting Wi-Fi here on the island.
14:32But more than that, some are asking for one more thing.
14:35Our wish in China is for them to stop harassing,
14:39because they know and the whole world knows that this place is in the Philippines.
14:43About China, I wish that they will stop harassing us when we are traveling.
14:55Mel, BFAR will have more missions in the West Philippine Sea,
14:59especially for our fishermen.
15:02That is the latest from Palawan.
15:04Back to you, Mel.
15:05Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
15:08The Commission on Audit estimated that the government lost more than Php 5 billion
15:14due to the loss in the sale of rice by the National Food Authority, or NFA,
15:19from 2019 to 2023.
15:22The rice buffer stock is still lacking,
15:25even though the NFA already has a Php 1 billion fund for the purchase of rice.
15:31Maki Pulido was on the scene.
15:37In the report of the Commission on Audit,
15:39from 2019 to 2023,
15:41the National Food Authority lost more than Php 13 million bags of rice
15:46for Php 25 per kilo instead of Php 33 per kilo.
15:50The government lost more than Php 5 billion.
15:53The NFA's defense was that the rice would age,
15:56so it needs to be sold.
15:58First of all, the NFA should not sell
16:01because it violates the Rice Tarification Law.
16:04Second, the NFA also sells rice of better quality.
16:09At this time, the price of rice went up to more than Php 50 per kilo.
16:14The Ombudsman ordered the 6-month suspension of the 139th official of the NFA
16:20due to the loss in the sale of rice last March.
16:22You did not see Php 30 in the market.
16:24If they are also retailers,
16:26plus Php 3 or Php 4, that's the retail price,
16:29so you should be able to buy Php 30 in the market.
16:33You did not see Php 30 at that time.
16:35The mandate of the NFA is to import rice for calamity
16:39and to buy rice from local farmers.
16:41But COA said that in 2023,
16:44the NFA's buffer stock was not enough
16:46even though the NFA already held Php 9 billion
16:49to buy Php 495,000 metric tons of rice.
16:52Only Php 1.5 billion was used in the fund,
16:56so the buffer stock is lacking by 84.16%.
17:00It is possible that the NFA was not able to buy
17:02because the farmers chose to sell to traders
17:05who allocated a higher price.
17:07But SINAG said that there are many places in the country
17:10where traders are buying cheaply.
17:12They should have intervened in places
17:14where farmers are buying cheaply.
17:17If the NFA does that,
17:19traders will not be able to buy cheaply.
17:22It's like price support.
17:23It's like the agency is just reminding them to buy
17:26when the trader prices go below.
17:28According to the NFA,
17:29the reason why the NFA's procurement went down
17:31is due to the intense competition
17:33and aggressive buying by private traders,
17:36a problem with the quality of their rice,
17:38and a high price of rice
17:40due to a lack of supply, high demand,
17:43and the export ban of India to non-Basmati rice.
17:46The NFA will also follow COA's recommendation
17:48and will continue to strive
17:50to maintain the 300,000 metric tons buffer stock of rice.
17:55As for the risk of selling rice,
17:57there are rumors being spread
17:59that they will be penalized
18:01in the next NFA Council meeting.
18:03For GMA Integrated News,
18:05Mackie Pulido, for Tutok, 24 hours.
