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 lived there.
00:42No one was hurt.
00:43In Cebu City, the residents of Barangay Duljo Fatima were awakened by a big fire and thick smoke.
00:54More than 30 houses were burned.
00:5613-year-old Benatilio was killed after he couldn't leave the house.
01:01In another video, there was a rise in the roof of a house of a victim with children.
01:06There were children who were dragged down by their parents.
01:10The fire was continuously being investigated.
01:12Before the fire was extinguished, there was a minor phreatomagmatic eruption in the Taal Volcano.
01:24It happened at 7.30 p.m.
01:26The eruption was caused by the contact or adhesion of water to the bottom of the volcano and the hot magma.
01:32The smoke reached 600 meters.
01:35There was also an eruption in the volcano that lasted for 3 minutes.
01:39The Taal Volcano remains under Alert Level 1.
01:44A car caught fire while the EDSA-Ortigas Flyover was being raided last night.
01:49It was being investigated by the authorities.
01:52Maris Umali witnessed it.
01:58The car was caught on fire near the EDSA-Ortigas Flyover northbound.
02:04Some motorists were stopped and the cars slowed down before the car was completely blown up.
02:10The CCTV footage shows the driver getting out of the car after being hit by another motorist.
02:15He looked at the back of the car before approaching the front.
02:18But the driver did not drive again and walked away.
02:22The car was still moving while flying.
02:25The thick smoke also covered the area.
02:28The firemen arrived to put out the fire.
02:31There were also police officers in the area.
02:33The fire was also put out.
02:35According to the driver, he was on his way home from Pasay by a motorist
02:40and he was told that the gasoline of the car was leaking.
02:43He was stopped and let through the window.
02:46According to the Quezon City Police District Station 12,
02:49the driver of the car was hit on his left and right legs during the incident.
02:54The first aid, the medical team of the MMDA, was immediately dispatched.
02:58Currently, the PNPF Bureau of Fire Protection is continuing the investigation
03:02into the fatal explosion of the car.
03:05No one was injured in the incident even though it caused heavy traffic to Edsa Shaw Boulevard.
03:10According to the Automobile Association of the Philippines or AAP,
03:14there are three possible causes of the car's explosion.
03:16The first is the explosion of the leaking gas.
03:19The second is the electrical fire or the explosion of the current inside.
03:23And the third...
03:24Possibly the catalytic converter that overheats or the engine that overheats.
03:29Usually, the vehicle fire is caused by a modification that is not proper.
03:35It's like a gasoline fire because it has a gasoline trail while rolling on the flyover
03:41and there's a gas fire on the ground.
03:44It means to say a fuel line has leaked or even by mere gravity that the tank was emptying onto the road.
03:52And it leaked.
03:53They remind us that if the vehicle is leaking or smelling, don't continue driving.
03:58There should be a presence of mind.
04:00Stop the vehicle.
04:02Don't forget to handbrake so that no one else will get into an accident.
04:06Get out of the car.
04:07Don't wait.
04:08Get everybody out of the car.
04:10Your cell phone, your belongings.
04:13I think the driver did a very nice job of exiting his vehicle on time.
04:18If you know how to extinguish a fire, use a fire extinguisher.
04:21But so that it won't reach the fire, the AAP said,
04:24there should be regular preventive maintenance.
04:27It's also dangerous to do it yourself in the electrical and fuel line.
04:30So it should be done by a trained professional.
04:33For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mariz Umali, your witness.
04:39A big oil price hike will be implemented on the first of March of 2025.
04:44There's an expected refund from Meralco.
04:46Maki Pulido is a witness.
04:52Because of the upcoming refunds,
04:54it's possible that there will be months this year when the bill of electricity will be less.
04:58In February, almost a billion pesos will be refunded that were not used.
05:02But private distributors refused to pay to the experts of the Energy Regulatory Commission.
05:08That's 23 cents per kilowatt hour for Meralco's customers.
05:12We don't need those funds.
05:14So those funds need to be returned.
05:16The refund can be increased because the Energy Regulatory Commission will review
05:20the excess bill of Meralco from 2022 to 2024.
05:24But if there's a refund, there's also an increase.
05:26The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines will also select a reserve of electricity
05:32last year that was equivalent to 12 cents per kilowatt hour
05:36within 3 to 6 months.
05:38There were excess bills within a few years of the ERC's regulatory reset
05:44or the calculation of how much will be reimbursed to the customers.
05:48If the NGCP's regulatory reset is planned, for example,
05:51it will be known if it will be refunded or reimbursed.
05:55If the ERC decides to allow the NGCP to request for projects that are not yet completed,
06:02it's equivalent to 12 cents per kilowatt hour increase.
06:06But there will be a refund of P1 per kilowatt hour within a year
06:11if the ERC decides that what can be reimbursed is for projects that are already completed.
06:16The reset will really need to be completed for Meralco and NGCP.
06:20For Rebecca, a working student, it's a big thing to get a refund of even a few cents,
06:25especially if it will be reimbursed.
06:27While she's studying, Rebecca is hungry because her family is in the province.
06:31I hope there will be a refund because it's a big help.
06:34I can eat that.
06:36I can ride a tricycle to school.
06:38I can ride a jeep.
06:40Even if it's just a barrier or a small rollback.
06:44But she has another problem.
06:46Rebecca lives in one of the places where the electricity of Linggoda will be cut off
06:50for Meralco's maintenance.
06:52The schedule of Meralco's maintenance is on Meralco's website and Facebook page.
06:56It's important here that we make sure that our facilities are in tip-top condition
07:02so that we can face the challenges of the time.
07:07The summer months will start and then the rainy season will end.
07:12It's a hassle, but Rebecca will just endure it by sidelining as a virtual assistant.
07:17Maybe I just need to go out to find an establishment that will provide an outlet.
07:25But it's really inconvenient for me.
07:28Motorists will face a big-time all-price hike on Tuesday, March 1, 2025.
07:34Pesos and 40 cents increase for each liter of diesel,
07:38pesos for each liter of gasoline,
07:40and pesos for each liter of kerosene.
07:42The Oil Industry Management Bureau of the Energy Department said that
07:46due to high prices, OPEC Plus' production will be reduced until April
07:52and it's a cold time in America and Europe where the demand for oil is increasing.
07:57For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, your Saksi.
08:03Almost 1,000 drivers were denied the LTO license due to various violations.
08:08The number of people who were involved in the accident on this holiday road reached more than 700.
08:14Saksi by Rafi Tima.
08:19That gray van is in the inner lane when it suddenly went straight to the other lane.
08:23A white van collided with it while the black SUV behind it avoided it.
08:32Dead on the spot, four passengers of the white van and two were injured.
08:36Its driver was saved.
08:38The accident happened on Davao-Digos Highway in Barangay Binugaw,
08:41Satoril District, Davao City on January 4.
08:44Based on the initial investigation...
08:46As per allegements, the driver collided with the steering wheel.
08:52But as we saw on CCTV, the collision was quite subjective.
08:56The van driver, who was hit by multiple cases, has yet to be released.
09:03In Cebu City, two vehicles collided with a delivery van on South Coastal Road.
09:08It collided with the prime mover that suddenly stopped in the middle of the road.
09:13The van tried to brake, but it still collided.
09:16According to the authorities, the driver of the van and its passenger are in good condition.
09:21The investigation is ongoing.
09:24According to the Department of Health,
09:25more than 700 cases of road accidents were reported this holiday season.
09:31Almost 500 of them were motorcycle accidents.
09:34Of the more than 700 cases, 8 were on the road.
09:375 of them were motorcycle accidents.
09:40According to most of the witnesses,
09:42there was no safety gear like a helmet.
09:44More than 100 people were drinking alcohol.
09:47According to the Land Transportation Office,
09:49in 2024, most of the 1,000 licenses were revoked or refunded
09:54because of the Anti-Drunk and Drug Driving Act.
09:57Some were revoked because of the questionable method of obtaining the license.
10:01Others were revoked because of the double license or falsification of the document.
10:05Others were included in viral videos on social media.
10:08Per our records, per history,
10:10yes, this is the most revoked license
10:16because of our aggressive stance.
10:19If the license is revoked,
10:21you may not be allowed to get it within two to four years
10:25depending on their violation
10:27because some of them will not be able to get the license for the rest of their lives.
10:31The license may also be revoked if there are minor violations of the driver.
10:36Every violation has its own demerit points.
10:39So if you lose that 40 points,
10:41your driver's license will be automatically revoked.
10:45For GMA Integrated News, I'm Raffy Tima.
10:48Saksi!
10:50Devotees are now in line to start the Pahalik or Pagpupugay
10:54to the whole of Jesus Nazareno in Quirino Grandstand in Manila.
10:57Saksi Live, I'm Bea Pinla.
10:59Bea!
11:03Ma'am, the traditional Pahalik or Pagpupugay to the whole of Jesus Nazareno continues.
11:10It will start earlier.
11:11It was planned to start later at midnight.
11:18Devotees are now in line to start the Pahalik or Pagpupugay
11:21to the whole of Jesus Nazareno in Manila.
11:23Some of them are here for the first time.
11:26But others have been doing this for more than a decade with their families.
11:31The tradition of Pahalik or Pagpupugay started earlier
11:36after the mass was held for the volunteers here in Quirino Grandstand.
11:40The line is not that long yet, but some of the people we talked to
11:44are already in line so that they won't have to wait in line
11:47for the arrival of the devotees tomorrow.
11:49The Church will remind them to sanitize first
11:52and then hold the image of Jesus Nazareno
11:55and also avoid the literal.
11:57The Pahalik or Pagpupugay should just wipe the cloth and towel
12:00on the cross and feet of the image of Jesus Nazareno.
12:04It's better to come early so that we can go home early
12:07because there are a lot of people tomorrow.
12:09My grandchildren are with me.
12:11That's why I really need to come early
12:13because there are still people coming in tomorrow, these kids.
12:16I want to experience the Pahalik or Pagpupugay of Jesus Nazareno
12:20because a lot of prayers are being fulfilled.
12:24That's why I joined my children, my grandchildren.
12:27The line is getting shorter and shorter compared to last year.
