00:00Not only in the faith, but also in the history and culture of the Filipinos,
00:05the Church of Quiapo has a big role.
00:08That's why some are helping to make the Quiapo a heritage zone.
00:13Saksi Live's Nico Wahid.
00:15Nico?
00:20Connie, there are devotees who chose to go to the Church of Quiapo today
00:23instead of being with the people from tomorrow until January 9.
00:28No matter what day it is, the Church of Quiapo will still answer their prayers.
00:38The Quiapo is a place where many people pass by.
00:41And since then, what is left behind are stories,
00:46traditions that became a culture in the long run.
00:49Just like the prayer in the Church of Quiapo of the Flores family of Malabon.
00:56It was in the 1970s that Consuelo became a devotee.
01:00She even brought in her nieces, Melody, Aileen, and Priscila.
01:05These three gave me a great trial to live.
01:11They were still small when their parents died.
01:14Because of my prayer to the Lord God, He guided me until now.
01:19Since then, they have grown to worship at the same time.
01:23And it doesn't matter what day it is.
01:26That's why before the feast on January 9,
01:28they decided to worship until there are no more people.
01:31It's a family prayer because that's what you're going to hold on to.
01:35Nothing, as long as the Lord God went here.
01:39The story of the Flores family,
01:41together with millions of devotees who have been praying in the Church of Quiapo for years.
01:46It's a different talk of the community,
01:48or we can call it locals, around the Church of Quiapo.
01:52The joint story and dedication of the Quiapo District in history
01:56is a sufficient reason to make it a National Heritage Cultural Zone
02:00that is being promoted again in the Senate.
02:03In 2022, it was decided to protect, preserve, conserve,
02:08and promote the colorful history and contribution of the entire Quiapo to the country.
02:13In fact, a coalition was formed to help lawmakers to approve it.
02:19That's the Quiapo of Pusoco Incorporated.
02:22They are now implementing the requirements requested by the Senate.
02:26I don't think this is what we're talking about.
02:29The entire Quiapo will be...
02:31There is just a specific stretch along Hidalgo of Quiapo,
02:35including San Sebastian,
02:37the cultural heritage houses along Hidalgo,
02:44up to the Quiapo Church, Plaza Miranda.
02:48If approved, like other heritage sites,
02:51the Quiapo will receive a fund from the government for conservation.
02:55But according to Quiapo of Pusoco Incorporated,
02:58a lot more needs to be planned for this to happen.
03:02This will help to get rid of the bad image of the Quiapo.
03:06Before, the image of the Quiapo was ugly.
03:11But now, people start to see the real beauty of the Quiapo.
03:14Behind this is the stereotyping that the Quiapo has.
03:19But now, they can see that there is a cultural heritage zone.
03:23The Quiapo is also a cultural heritage aspect that can be expanded.
03:32Conies, for now, there are no people here in the Quiapo.
03:36But expect that from tomorrow, more devotees will come here.
03:41And from tomorrow, X-rays and walk-through metal scanners will be used
03:45at the entry point here in Palangka Street, Corner Villa Lobos,
03:49where the Quiapo will enter.
03:51Everything will be done by X-rays before it can be entered.
03:55It is assured that there will be a long line when it is set up.
03:59That's why they say that there will be a long line of patients.
04:03And live from Quiapo, Manila,
04:06for GMA Integrated News, I am Nico Juaez, your witness.
04:11Some sensitive documents were found to be hacked
04:14by the website of the Office of the President
04:17according to an international media company.
04:19It was not confirmed by the DICT and AFP,
04:22but it was said that the country's cyber security is continuing to be strengthened.
04:27The witness is Ivan Myrina.
04:32The hackers hacked the website of the Office of the President
04:35from 2023 to mid-2024.
04:38According to Bloomberg, an international media company,
04:41they were able to get some important military documents here.
04:44As for Sigalot and the South China Sea,
04:47where the West Philippine Sea is located.
04:49But the Department of Information and Communication Technology of the DICT said
04:53that they know that the last hacking where information was obtained
04:56happened between 2018 and 2022.
05:00Despite that, there were many attacks against government websites.
05:04We were able to detect them early on.
05:07And when we do so, we are able to secure the database.
05:16What we've seen so far are old data from many years ago
05:21that are being re-rejudicated or just to make an impression
05:34that they were successful in doing so.
05:37Although the AFP continues to hack,
05:39the country's cyber security is continuing to be strengthened.
05:43According to the President's order,
05:44as the Commander-in-Chief, the Philippine allies are also helping.
05:48They also include cyber defense in their exercises.
05:52We have been trying to tweak our organization to the contemporary new challenges.
06:01We are able to detect and we are able to deter these attacks.
06:07Just like what all countries are facing,
06:09hundreds of thousands of cyber attacks on government websites are being hacked
06:13and the DICT is monitoring them every day.
06:16It is expected that there will be more of these attacks as the election draws near.
06:20What's happening is that there are more fake information or disinformation.
06:27There are attempts at compromising certain infrastructure
06:36like websites.
06:40They are trying to deface some websites or try to introduce malicious software.
07:05The victim was arrested and the suspect filed a complaint
07:09that he was the one who asked for help.
07:11The warrant of arrest was issued by the Binangonan Regional Trial Court on December 18.
07:16The suspect denied the charges.
07:18The former contractor of Manila LGU denied the accusation that they did not finish
07:25the collection of garbage on the last day of their contract.
07:29Mark Salazar is a witness.
07:31The garbage dump on Recto Avenue in Manila is full of garbage.
07:39If the collection of garbage in Manila is normal,
07:41it should have been collected this morning.
07:44The garbage is being collected slowly.
07:46It's hard to talk.
07:48It was just collected this morning.
07:49But since yesterday, the garbage truck in Recto Avenue is still not passing.
07:54It's even worse in Blumentritt because yesterday, no one was collecting garbage.
07:59The smell is suffocating.
08:01There's a risk of asthma.
08:03Do you always go through this?
08:05It's not just now.
08:07After Christmas, we feel sorry for this place.
08:09The garbage was collected on the street because the Lionel Waste Management Corporation
08:13abandoned the garbage collection on the last day of their contract in Manila.
08:20We are currently validating all these reports sent to us.
08:25On the 31st, which is the last day of Lionel,
08:29they initially made a trash collection but they didn't finish it.
08:37For example, the collection in the barangay was done twice.
08:42They only collected garbage once.
08:44That's why on January 1,
08:46everyone was surprised that there was a lot of trash.
08:50Lionel rejected this.
08:52They told their employees to work until the last day of their contract.
08:57They also stated in their statement that they did not bid for the new contract
09:02because of the huge debt of the city to them, which amounts to more than P561 million.
09:09The reason why they did not bid for the 2025 contract due to alleged unpaid obligation of P561.4 million
09:22First of all, they did not give that to the mayor when they told him that they will not participate.
09:28The reason that they gave was personal in nature, not contractual in nature.
09:33Two contractors replaced Metro Waste and Fileco in Lionel.
09:38We checked Metro Waste in Muriones, which is chasing the backlog collection.
09:44For today, there are still a few areas,
09:48but the mayor has already made a pronouncement that Metro Waste and Fileco
09:56should finish the hauling of all the backlog collection by Friday.
10:03The city hall assured that there is a system of garbage collection for the translation
10:08and that it will not add to the problem of the city with garbage.
10:12For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
