00:00Let's be together who will be.
00:08Taxi!
00:15Just a few minutes between the separate fire that broke out in Pasay and Manila.
00:20The first fire broke out on Arnaiz Avenue, Barangay 94 in Pasay City.
00:24The houses were close to each other, so from the first alarm, the fire was raised to the third.
00:29More than an hour before the fire was extinguished.
00:32No one was hurt.
00:3315 houses in Moriones, Tondo, Manila were also burned.
00:37According to the Bureau of Fire Protection, 45 families are living there.
00:42No one was hurt.
00:45You were caught driving a car while the EDSA-Ortigas flyover was raining last night.
00:50The authorities are investigating its cause.
00:53Maris Umali is the witness.
00:59The car caught fire while the EDSA-Ortigas flyover was raining.
01:05Some drivers were stopped and the fire was extinguished before the car was completely destroyed.
01:11The driver got out of the car after being hit by another driver.
01:16He grabbed the back of the car and he got closer to the front.
01:19But the driver did not drive again and he walked far away.
01:23While the car was still moving while it was flying.
01:26The thick smoke also covered the surroundings.
01:29A few moments later, the firemen arrived to extinguish it.
01:32There were also police in the area.
01:34The fire was also extinguished.
01:36According to the driver, he was driving home from Pasay from Senyasan, Kapwa Motorista,
01:41and he was told that the gasoline of the car was leaking.
01:44He was stopped and he was just thrown out of the window.
01:47According to the Quezon City Police District Station 12,
01:50the driver of the car was hit on his left and right foot during the incident.
01:55The first aid, the medical team of the MMDA, was immediately dispatched.
01:59Currently, the PNP and Bureau of Fire Protection are continuing the investigation
02:03on the cause of the fire in the car.
02:06No one was injured in the incident even though it caused heavy traffic up to EDSA Shoal Boulevard.
02:11According to the Automobile Association of the Philippines or AAP,
02:15there are three possible causes of the fire in the car.
02:17The first is the leakage of gas.
02:20The second is the electrical fire or the leakage of electricity inside.
02:24And the third...
02:25Possibly the catalytic converter that overheats or the engine that overheats.
02:30Usually, the vehicle fire is caused by a modification that is not proper.
02:36It's like a gasoline fire because it has a gasoline trail while rolling in the flyover
02:42and there's really a gas fire on the ground.
02:45It means to say a fuel line has leaked or even by mere gravity that the tank was emptying onto the road.
02:52And it's leaking.
02:54Remember, if the car is leaking or smelling, don't continue driving.
02:59There should be a presence of mind.
03:01Stop and park the car.
03:03Don't forget to handbrake so that no one else will get into an accident.
03:07Get out of the car.
03:08Don't wait.
03:09Get everybody out of the car.
03:11Leave your cell phone and belongings.
03:14I think the driver did a very nice job of exiting his vehicle on time.
03:19If you know how to extinguish a fire, use a fire extinguisher.
03:22But so that it won't reach the fire, the AAP said,
03:25do regular preventive maintenance.
03:28It's also dangerous to do it yourself in the electrical and fuel line,
03:31so it's better to do it with a trained professional.
03:34For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umaliang.
03:37Saksi!
03:39Devotees are now in line to start the Pahalik,
03:42or worshiping the whole of Jesus Nazareno in Quirino Grandstand in Manila.
03:46Saksi Live with Bea Pinla.
03:48Bea!
03:52Ma'am, the traditional Pahalik, or what we call the worshiping of the whole of Jesus Nazareno, continues.
03:59It's earlier than planned.
04:00It's planned to start later at 12 o'clock in the evening.
04:04Devotees are now in line to start the Pahalik, or worshiping the whole of Jesus Nazareno in Manila.
04:12Some of us are here for the first time.
04:15But others have been doing this for more than a decade with their families.
04:20The tradition of Pahalik, or worshiping the whole of Jesus Nazareno, started earlier,
04:25after the mass was held for the volunteers here in Quirino Grandstand.
04:29The line is not heavy yet,
04:31but some of us have already taken precautions
04:34so that it won't be the same as what the devotees are expecting tomorrow.
04:38The Church will remind us to sanitize before and after holding the image of Jesus Nazareno
04:44and also to avoid the literal,
04:46that the Pahalik, or if possible, just wipe the cloth and towel on the cross and feet of the image of Jesus Nazareno.
04:54It's better to do it early so that you can go home early.
04:56Because there are a lot of people tomorrow.
04:57My grandchildren are with me.
05:00That's why I really need to do it early.
05:02Because there are still people coming in tomorrow, these kids.
05:05I want to experience the Pahalik, or worshiping the whole of Jesus Nazareno again
05:09because a lot of prayers are being fulfilled.
05:13That's why I joined my children.
05:20At this time, the line is getting shorter than before
05:24and not as long as last year.
05:28Live from the Kirino Grandstand, for GMA Integrated News,
05:32Bea Pinlac, your witness.
05:35The drivers of a car in Pilar Capiz were called up by the police.
05:40According to the police, the three cars were on their way to Panay when they were shot.
05:45They were chased by four men wearing PNP's athletic uniform
05:50and a CIDG from Balasan, Iloilo.
05:53The suspects chased the car until they got the money worth P3.1 million
05:59and a cheque worth P1.5 million.
06:02After that, the suspects ran away.
06:05According to the Pilar Police, the two were recognized by the call dappers.
06:09The Police Regional Office 6 found out that there was no PNP member
06:13who was stealing a checkpoint wearing their athletic uniforms.
06:17There was also no CIDG unit in Balasan.
06:20We are still trying to get permission from the company where the victims work.
06:26The Department of Agriculture plans to implement the Maximum Suggested Retail Price or MSRP
06:32on imported rice before the end of January.
06:35Tomatoes still reach P400 per kilo in some families.
06:40Our witness.
06:42Tomatoes planted in Bungabon, Nueva Ecija are closely monitored by farmers
06:47because in the following typhoons last year, only a few were left.
06:52Almost all of its leaves were damaged.
06:56That's why we took care of it again.
06:59We put some fertilizer.
07:01We planted some rice paddies to make it better.
07:05You spent again to make it better?
07:07Yes.
07:08We started again in the beginning.
07:10Also because of the typhoons, many of their companions stopped planting.
07:16They didn't come back.
07:17Maybe because the tomatoes are expensive.
07:20The reduced supply is the so-called reason why tomatoes are expensive to sell.
07:26Its wholesale price is P170 to P180 in Sangitan Public Market in Cabanatuan City.
07:34There, some are bought from other places such as Metro Manila, Cavite, and Bulacan.
07:40Every kilo of tomatoes reaches P400 in Marikina Public Market.
07:46The market is open.
07:48Even the price of other vegetables.
07:50In the market in Tandansora, Quezon City,
07:53every kilo of tomatoes reaches P300.
07:57That's why Albert only bought two tomatoes for P20 each.
08:03The price of tomatoes is really high now.
08:05It's so expensive.
08:06That's why it's hard to make a budget.
08:08The market vendors say that the sales are good.
08:11That's why Vilma only bought two kilos of tomatoes to sell from the previous 10 kilos.
08:18They said that their harvest is not enough.
08:24That's why it's like that.
08:26It was flooded.
08:28The price of potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and eggplants also increased.
08:34Because of a series of typhoons last year,
08:38it caused extensive damage to the crops in their vegetative and reproductive states,
08:45particularly in regions or areas producing these Solanaceous family crops
08:53like tomato, bell pepper, and chili pepper.
08:56In particular, region 2, region 5, and 4A.
09:01According to the Department of Agriculture,
09:03it is expected that the price of tomatoes and other vegetables will return to normal
09:08before the end of January or the beginning of February.
09:12As for the continuation of production,
09:14according to some farmers in Nueva Ecija,
09:17they are expected to plant tomatoes from April to May.
09:22The price of imported rice will reach P65 per kilo in Kamuning Market.
09:29Retailers say that the supply is high now.
09:32You can't lower the price if the supply is high.
09:36They should lower the price and find a way.
09:40But the DA said that the price of imported rice should not reach P50 per kilo
09:46if there is no profit-eating or profit-eating.
09:49There should be no P60 rice imported in the market.
09:53P60 imported rice is already profit-eating in my opinion.
09:57They plan to achieve the maximum suggested retail price or MSRP
10:03for imported rice before the end of January.
10:06It's not a suggestion.
10:08It's like we are saying that this should be the maximum price.
10:13But it's not a price cap.
10:15We will be coming up with the maximum suggested retail price system very soon.
10:20The DA will consult with rice importers, retailers, and other government agencies
10:26to determine the MSRP for imported rice,
10:29where it will be implemented, and what will be the consequences of its violations.
10:36For GME Integrated News, I am Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
10:43The Commission on Audit approved in their 2023 audit report
10:47more than P89 billion that was not collected from delinquent employers
10:52that did not remit the SSS contribution of their employees.
10:56That's what I witnessed.
10:59In the 2023 audit report of the Commission on Audit in the Social Security System,
11:03inefficiency in collecting the SSS contribution from delinquent employers
11:08was first identified.
11:10As of December 31, 2023,
11:12more than P89 billion was not collected from delinquent employers
11:18that amounted to more than P400,000.
11:21Less than 5% of the total P94 billion was not collected.
11:26Despite the installment payment scheme that the SSS included,
11:30less than 1% was available.
11:33Almost 71,000 employers were not inactive,
11:36under temporary suspension,
11:38or closed or dormant accounts.
11:41This is a possible indication of leniency or being lenient in collecting.
11:45Because of this, the SSS was able to earn funds for various benefits.
11:50We are still trying to get the share of the SSS.
11:53But in the COA report,
11:54the SSS said that they are doing their best to remit the companies.
11:59But they were charged with cases
12:01against delinquent employers who were detained in court for a long time.
12:05In the middle of this,
12:06the SSS' 15% contribution rate hike continued since January.
12:11The employer will pay 10%,
12:135% to the employee.
12:15For example,
12:16for a minimum wage worker who receives P640,000,
12:20for a minimum wage worker who receives P645,000 a day,
12:24the SSS will pay P700,000 a month
12:28and P1,410,000 to the employer.
12:31Leilani admitted that
12:32her contribution to the SSS is heavy.
12:37If you have a high salary bracket,
12:40you won't feel it.
12:42But if you are just a minimum wager,
12:46it's a bit difficult
12:49because of the high expenses.
12:51But she is trying her best to avoid paying.
12:54Based on her experience with the monthly death benefit,
12:56following her husband's death in 2020,
13:00the benefit is a big help for their son's studies.
13:04Leilani is hoping that she can raise her monthly dues
13:08with her own contribution
13:10to get a bigger benefit when the time comes.
13:13You won't be able to avail personal insurances
13:16if you are secured.
13:21The China Coast Guard 5901 is still inside the Exclusive Economic Zone.
13:26It is the largest coast guard vessel in the world.
13:28Based on the monitoring of the Philippine Coast Guard,
13:31they detected the monster ship of CCG
13:3480 nautical miles from Lubang Occidental, Mindoro
13:37this morning.
13:38Before this,
13:39the ship was monitored 54 nautical miles from Caponis Island in Zambales.
13:43According to the National Security Council,
13:45it may be a part of the intimidation of China,
13:49but the Philippine fishermen should not be intimidated.
13:53The BRP Cabra of PCG was trapped in the monster ship for two days.
13:57The radio challenge continues.
14:02You are directed to depart immediately.
14:05Since this month, PhilHealth has a higher answer
14:09on how to treat some diseases.
14:11PhilHealth also covered those who were admitted to the hospital
14:14but did not need to be confined.
14:16Witness, Ivan Mayrina.
14:21The most common claim from PhilHealth is low-risk pneumonia.
14:24Before, the answer of PhilHealth was only up to Php19,500.
14:28But since January 1,
14:31the answer of PhilHealth is already up to Php29,250.
14:35And that's just one of the thousands of cases
14:38or including diseases
14:39that are in the middle of a new round of increasing the value
14:42that will be answered by PhilHealth.
14:43If you can remember,
14:44in February of 2024,
14:47we increased by 30%.
14:50And now, before the end of the year,
14:52we increased by another round.
14:55This time, it's 50% in around 9,000 packages
14:59starting January 1 admissions.
15:02More than 50% added benefits
15:04to other more serious diseases
15:06including kidney transplant and angioplasty
15:09for heart attacks.
15:10Before, our kidney transplantation package
15:13used to be Php600,000.
15:16Now, it will reach Php800,000 to Php2,000,000 benefits package.
15:21Now, it's called angioplasty
15:24where our package is around Php30,000 benefit.
15:28Now, it will reach Php530,000.
15:32This is a big thing for the millions of Filipinos
15:34who rely on PhilHealth for their medical needs.
15:37This is a blessing for Evelyn Valdez
15:40who has been relying on PhilHealth for two years
15:42for her dialysis.
15:43A new hope is a cheaper kidney transplant
15:46because her income will go down
15:48and she just needs a donor.
15:50I hope I can get a transplant.
15:53I won't lose hope.
15:55I'm getting stronger inside.
15:57PhilHealth has benefits for outpatients
16:00or those who have been admitted to the hospital
16:02but don't need to be confined.
16:04Patients who are brought to the emergency room
16:07but are not admitted
16:09have no benefits before.
16:11But now, we came out already
16:14with an emergency care package
16:16that doesn't need to be confined.
16:18We will cover it and pay for it.
16:21For GMA Integrated News,
16:24I'm Ivan Meyrina.
16:25Saksi!
