00:00For those who are just about to buy rice, it's cheaper to buy it in some Kadiwa stores starting today.
00:07We have on the spot, Bernadette Reyes.
00:09Bernadette?
00:14Connie, starting today, rice is being sold for Php 38 per kilo,
00:19the former Php 40 per kilo of rice under the Rice for All program of the government.
00:25It can now be bought in some selected families in Metro Manila.
00:30This is the well-milled, 25% broken rice that can be imported or local rice.
00:36This is also the rice that was first sold to the families for Php 45 per kilo,
00:42but the price has been gradually lowered to the current price of Php 38 per kilo.
00:47For now, only 20 families are able to sell this and other alternatives,
00:52such as solid rice that is sold for Php 36 per kilo,
00:56and Php 29 of rice that is being sold in neighboring sectors.
01:00The Department of Agriculture is talking to LGUs
01:03if they can help sell this to more families.
01:08On Monday, Metro Manila will implement the maximum suggested retail price for imported rice.
01:15This will be reviewed so that it can meet the tariff and price in the global market.
01:19Connie, we are now here at Murphy Market in Cubao, Quezon City,
01:23where their price will be exchanged from Php 40 to Php 38 per kilo of rice that is 25% broken.
01:31For those who are curious, Connie, what does the 25% broken rice called Rice for All look like?
01:38This is it, Connie, up close.
01:40If you can see, there are pieces of broken rice because it is 25% broken.
01:46But this was also eaten by the families of the Department of Agriculture
01:50and they say that the quality of the rice is also good.
01:54Here in this place, here in Murphy, Cubao,
01:58there is also Php 36 of solid rice that is 100% broken.
02:05Connie?
02:06Thank you very much, Bernadette Reyes.
02:11One proud Filipina, Sparkle artist and national figure skater Sky Chua
02:17in her newest skating journey.
02:21She is the sole representative of the University of the Philippines and the Philippines
02:26for the 2025 Visu Winter World University Games.
02:30All smiles, she raised the Philippine flag at the opening ceremony in Turin, Italy.
02:36Sky's story in GMA News Online,
02:38she is excited to compete despite the pressure.
02:43All the support of her fans and loved ones in her big journey.
02:49Full of gratitude, SB19 member Phillip,
02:53in his recent Japan trip.
02:55He is one of the invited performers for the Dance University Never Killed
03:00or Donk Showcase in Yokohama, LA.
03:03Last Sunday and Monday.
03:05He is one of the biggest stages
03:08where he paved the way for the World Class Act of the Filipinos.
03:14It's time for the question and answer session
03:17to the students of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education or CSE.
03:22We will talk to the author of the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Bill in the Senate,
03:27Senator Risa Ontiveros.
03:29Good morning, Risa.
03:30Good morning, Senator Risa Ontiveros.
03:32Good morning and welcome to Balitanghali, Senator.
03:35Good morning or Magandang Tanghali, Ms. Connie.
03:39Thank you for the invitation.
03:41How urgent is it to pass the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Bill
03:46and is our country ready for it?
03:49We are ready.
03:50Actually, we are waiting for it.
03:52Ms. Connie, it's very urgent because it's only 2019,
03:57so more than half a decade,
04:00that the National Economic and Development Authority
04:04has declared a national and social emergency
04:07for teenage pregnancies here in our country.
04:09Because it has been recorded since then,
04:12and especially since the pandemic,
04:15that the incidence of teenage pregnancies does not decrease but increases.
04:20From 10, can you imagine Ms. Connie,
04:23from 10 to 19 years old.
04:26Since the pandemic,
04:28the incidence of teenage pregnancies increased by 10%
04:32in that entire age range of 10 to 19.
04:35And if it increased in the ages 15 to 19 by 9.7%,
04:40in the 10 to 14 years old, it increased by 35%.
04:45So it means that our children and students are increasing,
04:50our students are more likely to not finish their studies,
04:56not be able to prepare for a good job and find a life,
05:00and their families are establishing themselves too early,
05:05while they themselves are still young.
05:08But Senator, a family rights group is alarmed
05:13in implementing this Comprehensive Sexuality Education Program
05:17because they say that there is a provision that does not include,
05:21does not include age-appropriate,
05:23and possibly a violation of moral, societal, and spiritual values.
05:27What do you have to say about this?
05:33Precisely, and in the text of Senate Bill 1979,
05:39Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy,
05:41the Comprehensive Sexuality Education there,
05:44which is one of the preventive measures for teenage pregnancy,
05:48will remain age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate.
05:53Just like what was passed in the Responsible Parenthood
05:57and Reproductive Health Law of 2013,
05:59the rule of the Supreme Court, which is constitutional,
06:04and the same standards, age and developmentally appropriate,
06:08are being observed by the DepEd in their CSC curricula.
06:13So, the group said that they were alarmed, but they became alarmists
06:18because they were too advanced in thinking,
06:22and in turn, they were mistaken in attacking
06:27the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Bill.
06:29This is fake news.
06:32But what they are saying is that this is international,
06:37and we are adapting it.
06:39Are we going to adapt everything in there?
06:41Or are there international standards that we will change
06:46according to our culture and our faith?
06:50Exactly, Ms. Connie.
06:53In our cultures here in the Philippines,
06:57and in the current context of our country,
07:02any view of international sources
07:06is ultimately still below the context of our cultures
07:13and above all, our constitution.
07:16The CSC curricula that is now being used in DepEd
07:22means that if we still see gaps or mistakes,
07:28we can fill it or avoid it until the period of amendments
07:32in the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Bill.
07:35Okay, but how true is it that they are saying that
07:39in one of the provisions there,
07:41in their culture or in other cultures,
07:43it is accepted that children should be sexually active.
07:46There are people who say that it is not true in the CSC
07:49that if a child is sexually active at the age of six,
07:53it is not allowed to have children.
07:56What is the truth in that?
07:58Ms. Connie, the truth in that is one of their fake news
08:03against the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Bill.
08:06Where did they get the idea that we, as parents,
08:10cannot say that our children will be guided?
08:15There is nothing in the text and in the diva of the Senate Bill 1979.
08:20There is nothing that will stop us from prioritizing our children.
08:26Even in the Comprehensive Sexuality Education Provision,
08:29in the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Bill,
08:32we are together as parents in the CSC
08:36to enable us to discuss these important things with our children.
08:42Together with the CSC,
08:44not only our children and students,
08:46not only us as parents,
08:48but also the teachers,
08:50so that they can properly handle in an age and developmentally appropriate way
08:56this material in the Deaf-Ed curriculum.
08:58Just to clarify,
08:59in the original that we adopted or obtained
09:04this international bill in the CSC,
09:08there is no such provision even,
09:10or there is one for them,
09:11but it will be different for us.
09:13It will be different for us.
09:15But there is the original.
09:18But there is one study that I learned,
09:21we did not become a reference here in the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Bill
09:26because our sole reference is the CSC
09:29that is already there in the Constitutional
09:31and approved and rolled out Deaf-Ed CSC in the Responsible Parenthood Law.
09:37So because the group became alarmist,
09:41and spread fake news against our bill,
09:45we learned what UNESCO and WHO are citing.
09:50There is only one study that we saw commissioned by WHO
09:56but for study in Europe.
09:59So it is not a reference here in the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Bill.
10:05Basically, it is just common sense that whatever the international references,
10:10in the end, the buck stops at the Philippine Constitution.
10:14All right.
10:15Thank you very much for giving us that information and for your time, Senator.
10:20Thank you, Ms. Connie.
10:21That was Senator Risa Ontiveros.
10:25Even though PhilHealth received zero subsidy this year,
10:28they once again insisted that their funds are enough for the new and expanded benefit packages.
10:34According to PhilHealth President and CEO, Emanuele Desma Jr.,
10:38in a hearing of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography,
10:41PhilHealth has investments and reserves aside from the contributions of its members.
10:47State insurers also agreed that they will pay the expenses of patients
10:54who do not need to be confined to the hospital or the outpatient emergency care,
11:00such as those who suddenly experience nausea, dizziness, or high blood pressure.
11:05In the past, the patient could not claim to PhilHealth if he was not confined to the hospital.
11:11PhilHealth announced the expanded Z-Benefits or coverage for various serious diseases,
11:20such as heart disease, dialysis, and kidney transplant.
11:25There is also no increase in contributions this year.
11:28Just like in 2024, the premium rate is still 5% this year.
11:35The National Bureau of Investigation is now holding the fingerprint analysis of the man
11:39who killed a businessman in Quezon City, Kamakailan.
11:43The Quezon City Police District was investigated to see
11:46if Lope Jimenez's fingerprint was the reason for Rubiros Barameda's arrest in 2007.
11:54The QCPD also consulted with the Philippine Statistics Authority,
11:58Nantransportation Office, and the Department of Foreign Affairs
12:01to find out if the name of the suspect is registered with them.
12:05It is noted that Rubiros and Rochelle Barameda used different names.
12:12In defense of the camp led by Mastermind,
12:14they will present evidence that Lope Jimenez was not involved in the Barameda slay case.
12:22A man who used to be a police officer and was a member of Jimenez's gang,
12:26was arrested.
12:27In an interview with GMA Integrated News,
12:29he said that Jimenez and the man currently in custody of the QCPD are one.
12:35One hundred percent that his client is Lope Jimenez.
12:41His height, his body, and his face.
12:52The police have not yet released anything about the man's statement.
12:58This is the GMA Regional TV News.
13:05For those who eat,
13:07some farmers in Dilasag, Aurora are in trouble because their rice is being poisoned by rats.
13:13According to some farmers, they are already drowning
13:15and their rice is being cut off because the rats are eating the rice.
13:20The farmers have built huts near the farm
13:24so that the rats can escape every night.
13:27According to a Municipal Agricultural Officer,
13:30some also use mousetraps to kill the rats.
13:33He also explained that during the cold season,
13:36the rat population is increasing,
13:38so they are actively looking for food.
13:45News in Davao City.
13:46Three people in a row in an ATM were hit by a pickup truck.
13:50They were injured and were even hit by a car.
13:54Two motorcycles were also hit by a pickup truck.
13:58Before this, the pickup truck went up the sidewalk and hit a laundry shop.
14:03Due to the impact, the three pickup trucks were also injured.
14:07According to the police,
14:08based on the driver's story who was in their custody,
14:12the vehicle was found missing.
14:14The victim's camp has not yet released anything.
14:19The Senate Blue Ribbon Hearing discussed various issues related to e-cigarettes.
14:25Senator Pia Cayetano called for stricter regulations on vape industries.
14:30According to Senator Cayetano,
14:32the Department of Trade and Industry lacks the capacity
14:36to monitor the health components of vape chemicals.
14:40According to the hearing,
14:41the only thing DTI can regulate is the vape device, battery, and charger.
14:47The number of vape users,
14:51especially young people,
14:53and non-smokers or non-smokers.
14:57DTI Secretary Maria Cristina Aldeguer-Roque
15:00did not attend the hearing.
15:12115 days before the election of 2025,
15:15we will see an update on the printing of balotas.
15:17We have on the spot, Sandra Aguinaldo.
15:21Sandra.
15:22Yes, Raffy.
15:23The 6 million printed ballots that will not be used in the election
15:27started to be printed today.
15:30This is because new balotas need to be printed,
15:33including the five additional names of the aspirants,
15:37after the Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order
15:40for the aspirants who were declared nuisance
15:43or whose Certificate of Candidacy was cancelled.
15:46The family explained that the balotas need to be transferred
15:49to their Santa Rosa warehouse in Laguna
15:52to clear the space in the National Printing Office
15:55as a preparation for the printing of new balotas next week.
16:00As of now, only three balotas are being transported and loaded
16:05here in the NPO truck.
16:07This is equivalent to three cinelladas.
16:10It is not possible to travel six million balotas in one day.
16:15Comelec will prepare this for paper melting
16:19so that the paper can be recycled and used.
16:22This will no longer be used as a balota,
16:24but it will be a recycled paper.
16:27Comelec still cannot answer if they will sell this
16:30or how they will use it later on.
16:33Raffy, the situation here is that
16:38even the paper trimmings or the balotas
16:43will be transported to Laguna.
16:46Raffy, the testing of the printer of the National Printing Office is ongoing
16:52because the four printers of the NPO will help
16:55to catch up with Comelec's deadline for the printing of balotas.
17:00This is the last news from the NPO, Raffy.
17:03Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
