NewsTranscript
00:00For those who are planning to make Leche Flan at Bapangpang Himanga in Noche Buena,
00:08the budget for eggs is now ready.
00:10For now, the price will be low because the supply is still enough,
00:15just like some stores in Marikina Public Market.
00:18But as Christmas approaches,
00:21the price of eggs is also expected to rise,
00:23according to the Philippine Egg Board Association.
00:26In Marikina Market, each piece of extra-small egg is 7 pesos,
00:31while the biggest one is 11 pesos, or Jumbo.
00:35210 to 285 pesos per tray,
00:40depending on the size of the egg.
00:43In other stores in Metro Manila,
00:44you can buy Peewee Egg for 6 pesos and 50 centavos,
00:48up to 8 pesos per piece.
00:51Jumbo size is 9 to 10 pesos per piece.
00:55Brown eggs are more expensive.
00:587 to 13 pesos per piece,
01:01depending on whether it's medium, large, or extra-large.
01:06Let's update on the traffic situation here in Metro Manila,
01:09six days before Christmas.
01:11Let's talk to the Director for Traffic Enforcement Group
01:14of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority,
01:16Atty. Vic Nunez.
01:18Welcome to Balitang Hali, Atty.
01:21Yes, good afternoon, Sir Rafi,
01:23and good afternoon to all of our viewers.
01:26Yes, it's the last weekend before Christmas.
01:28How is the traffic in the main roads here in Metro Manila?
01:33Yes, Sir Rafi, we're expecting,
01:35this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,
01:38the volume of vehicles will increase.
01:43And this is the time when many will return to their provinces.
01:50Piers, provincial bus terminals, and even airports are already full.
01:57So, we're expecting that.
02:00And the next few days,
02:03mostly Christmas parties will be held in different places.
02:07In your observation,
02:09at what time does the traffic become heavy?
02:13Or is it really all day long?
02:15Actually, there are times when it's light,
02:17especially in the morning.
02:18But the peak of traffic,
02:20wherein the volume of vehicles is really high,
02:24it would start at 4 p.m.
02:26until 9 to 10 p.m.,
02:29especially in the major toro fairs along EDSA, C5, Commonwealth.
02:33Are the living lanes still effective today?
02:37Yes, it's very efficient
02:39because every day, we're clearing those alternate roads
02:43so that our major roads won't become too heavy.
02:50That's why our special operations group,
02:53every day, from morning to afternoon,
02:56they operate here to encourage our motorists
02:59and our fellow citizens to use these alternate roads,
03:05these living lanes,
03:07because most of these living lanes are leading to big malls
03:12from Pasay, Paranaque, up to Quezon City.
03:15So if they know where the living lanes are,
03:20that we're clearing every day,
03:22it will be more helpful for them.
03:24Why is the suspension of the Expanded Number Coding Scheme just for a few days?
03:29Well, as a matter of policy,
03:31MMDA would lift the UVVRP on regular holidays or special holidays.
03:39December 24, 25, December 30, and 31,
03:44including January 1,
03:47that's what we chose because these dates are declared holidays.
03:52And it's hard when we lift that,
03:56that it's not a holiday because we're expecting December 22, 23, and 26,
04:02to go back to the provinces,
04:07it will add to the congestion of traffic
04:11if we still lift the number coding scheme on these days.
04:17That's why the chairman, Chairman Don Artes,
04:20he's really our policeman,
04:22he's the one who was declared by our agency
04:25that the coding was lifted on these 5 days.
04:28Yes. Are there other ways you're looking at
04:30to help expand the traffic lanes during these times?
04:34Are you encouraging commutes to our fellow citizens,
04:36especially those who are just passing through major thoroughfares?
04:39Yes, we can see that a lot of people are lining up
04:43for bus carousel along EDSA, MRT, and LRT
04:47because it's still faster.
04:51That's why we can see that bus carousel lines are getting longer
05:00because somehow,
05:02it's still faster for our public to ride.
05:10So we're encouraging them,
05:12instead of using private vehicles,
05:14let's use LRT, MRT, and EDSA bus carousel.
05:21But it's really coming out,
05:23in the coming 4 days,
05:25because it's expected that the traffic will increase.
05:27Yes, Sir Rafi,
05:29if you can't afford to bring your own vehicle,
05:33please plan your travels ahead of time,
05:37and ask for forgiveness.
05:39And make sure that your cars,
05:41the vehicles that you're going to use,
05:43are roadworthy.
05:45Because the cars that are being destroyed
05:47are still in the way of our roads.
05:51We have a lot of incidents
05:53that are being monitored by a lot of stored vehicles
05:55along major thoroughfares.
05:57So it leads to added traffic jam and congestion.
06:01So make sure that all your vehicles,
06:03especially the ones that are being destroyed
06:05by other provinces,
06:07make sure that they're in good condition.
06:09Thank you very much for your time on Balitang Hali.
06:13Thank you very much, Sir Rafi.
06:15Good morning.
06:27Sara, how is the situation there?
06:31Rafi, even though it's getting cooler
06:33as a low-pressure area,
06:35it's still raining in some places here in Davao region
06:37like the previous typhoon, Kerubin.
06:39In Panabodabo del Norte,
06:41there was heavy rain
06:43on the National Highway last night.
06:45It slowed down the traffic.
06:47Some residents also tried
06:49to cross the river.
06:51There's no entrance to all schools
06:53and government offices in Lungsol.
06:56Meanwhile,
06:58a landslide caused heavy rain
07:00on Barangay Tuburan in Mawab, Davao de Oro.
07:02The landslide also affected motorists
07:04while the road was closed
07:06for clearing operations.
07:10More than a week after the typhoon,
07:1237 evacuees in La Castellana,
07:14Negros Occidental,
07:16were infected by the typhoon.
07:18This is because of the food shortage.
07:20Some of them had to be brought
07:22to the hospital
07:24and dextrose was injected.
07:26The mayor confirmed the incident
07:28and said that the food came
07:30from the donation of a private group.
07:32The authorities are still investigating.
07:34In order to avoid
07:36being called by the LGU
07:38for the help they asked
07:40for the donation management team
07:42to monitor the donations.
07:46President Bombo Marcos
07:48will not sign
07:50the National Budget for 2025 tomorrow.
07:53According to him,
07:55there are parts of the budget
07:57that were vetoed by the President.
07:59Mav Gonzalez reports.
08:05President Bombo Marcos helped
08:07the members of his Cabinet
08:09as Executive Secretary,
08:11Budget, Finance, Public Works,
08:13and National Economic Development Authority
08:15to approve
08:17the 2025 National Budget.
08:19The budget was supposed to be signed
08:21but the Executive Secretary,
08:23Lucas Bersamin, said
08:25that it will not continue
08:27because it needs time
08:29for a thorough review.
08:31It is not yet clear when
08:33the budget will be signed
08:35but Bersamin confirmed
08:37that there are parts that will be vetoed.
08:39The leaders of the House and Senate
08:41have no objection
08:43because it is part of the process.
08:45Under Article 6, Section 27
08:47of the 1987 Constitution,
08:49the President can veto
08:51the particular items
08:53or part of the budget.
08:55As of now,
08:57the Bicameral Conference Committee
08:59approved a budget of almost
09:01Php 215 billion
09:03for the DPWH's budget
09:05compared to the National Expenditure Program
09:07or the proposed budget
09:09approved by the Executive.
09:11More than Php 17 billion
09:13was added to the Camera
09:15and more than Php 1 billion
09:17was added to the DepEd's budget
09:19and the removal of the PhilHealth
09:21subsidy.
09:23Php 26 billion was also added
09:25to the Ayuda para sa Kapos
09:27Angkita Program or ACAP
09:29which was removed from the Senate version
09:31but was returned to the Bicam.
09:33According to the law expert,
09:35Professor Dan Gatmaitan,
09:37removing a particular item
09:39is what the President can do.
09:41He cannot transfer it
09:43to other programs.
09:45Although the President approved
09:47the fund for ACAP,
09:49the fund can no longer be spent
09:51even in other programs.
09:53The money will remain
09:55in the National Treasury.
09:57If the PhilHealth budget is vetoed
09:59and the subsidy is zero,
10:01the original allocation of Php 74 billion
10:03will not be returned.
10:05Congress has to respond.
10:07Next time or next year,
10:09they will be more careful
10:11or there will be special appropriations
10:13because money is needed
10:15for certain things.
10:17There are emergencies.
10:19Under the 1987 Constitution,
10:21the President's veto
10:23can still be overrided
10:25or the Congress' visa can be revoked.
10:27But this has not happened in history
10:29according to Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel.
10:31Congress can insist
10:33that it still needs
10:35to be a law.
10:37It can insist
10:39by two-thirds vote
10:41of Congress
10:43per House.
10:45Voting separately,
10:47what do you call it? Override the veto.
10:49Nothing.
10:51Because a super majority,
10:53a special majority is needed.
10:55More than just a simple majority.
10:57Of course,
10:59the President's allies
11:01are in the House and Senate.
11:03So it should not happen.
11:05The President can also reconvene
11:07the Bicameral Conference Committee
11:09to discuss the budget.
11:11What he needs to do
11:13is prevail upon Congress
11:15to withdraw
11:17their bill
11:19to the President
11:21so that they can fix it.
11:23That's what I think
11:25is the most viable
11:27solution here
11:29without
11:31making the President
11:33veto the entire budget.
11:35Senate President said
11:37that the President
11:39has the right
11:41to veto
11:43the entire budget.
11:45It's in the special provisions.
11:47The Speaker, the Senate President,
11:49the President, the Chief Justice,
11:51all the heads of agencies,
11:53the constitutional agencies
11:55have that right.
11:57Because they have fiscal autonomy.
