NewsTranscript
00:00The first news.
00:09Some workers are hoping that one of the laws that is being passed in the Chamber is to increase the salary by Php200.
00:19Some small business owners are calling for this.
00:24The first news live, EJ Goebbels.
00:27EJ.
00:32Egan, the minimum wage in the NCR is now Php645.
00:37The Chamber will pass a bill to increase the minimum wage by Php200
00:43which is related to support for small business owners.
00:47Let's find out what our fellow citizens have to say about this,
00:50especially since they have to spend a lot of money and have to buy a lot of things.
01:00After the leaders and various labor groups were helped,
01:05House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Lumwaldes announced that the Chamber is discussing the addition of Php200 to the minimum wage.
01:13He is also studying on how to provide subsidies and exemptions to micro, small and medium enterprises or MSMEs.
01:20He considers it to be a big help for many Filipino workers like Ramil, who has been working as a factory worker for eight years.
01:29His daily salary is Php250, which he spends on food and travel from Intarizal to his work in Pasig.
01:39It's a big help for me because I commute a lot, especially now that the prices are high.
01:45They said that the minimum wage will also increase.
01:48If it continues, thank you very much.
01:50Riza also hopes that she has been working as a food stall vendor for 15 years and that the increase in salary will be legal.
01:57The increase in salary is a big help.
02:00Php200 for buying rice, for increasing the minimum wage, and for supporting the children.
02:06We can also save Php100 per day for diseases and for expenses.
02:13Like Makabayan Block, it's better if the wage hike is across the board or without exemption.
02:19They also plan to increase the proposed Php750 increase in salary.
02:30We also talked to small businessmen.
02:34They said that they also want their workers to have a better life,
02:40but they hope that the help that will be given to their businessmen will be well-planned
02:45so that they can ensure that they will be able to provide an additional salary for their employees.
02:51And that's the first news here in Marikina City.
02:55EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
02:59There are places in Albay and Catanduanes that are closed this Thursday because of the bad weather caused by the shear line.
03:06You can see it on the screen, the complete list of places that are declared to be suspended.
03:15The Asian Development Bank approved a loan in the Philippines of Php500 million U.S. dollars or more than Php29 billion.
03:24According to the ADB, it will be used as a fund for response to emergencies or emergency response.
03:30It will help strengthen the country's capacity to build police stations that can reduce the effects of calamities.
03:43Almost every day, many people are being arrested and taken to the busway, even though they know that they are not authorized there.
03:51That's why the Land Transportation Office, LTO, is studying to increase the fine.
03:57First news live, Bam Alegre.
04:00Bam.
04:05Good morning.
04:06If they won't stop those who are not allowed to cross the EDSA busway,
04:10the Land Transportation Office plans to increase the fine.
04:14That's why we learned the opinion of some of our fellow citizens here in the street.
04:21Thank you very much.
04:25It's time for the EDSA bus lane authorities to get to their positions.
04:28Just for the passengers of buses and emergency ambulances,
04:31surely someone will be arrested, arrested, and arrested.
04:35Most of the time, it's just a mess.
04:37Some say that they don't know that they are not allowed to cross the busway.
04:40The ending is a ticket that has a fine of Php5,000.
04:44According to LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Attorney Vigor D. Mendoza II,
04:49it's time for a higher fine.
04:51LTO says that Php5,000 is not enough.
04:54And if the violation is repeated, the license should be removed.
04:58We will continue to dialogue.
05:00If the penalty is too small, it should be increased.
05:03What's important is that if the driver is caught, there is a demerit.
05:06If the demerit points are increased,
05:0940 demerit points suspension or revocation of the license.
05:15The passenger, Baby Perez, does not want to increase the fine.
05:18For me, it's okay to increase the fine.
05:20Even if you say that there is a fine of Php5,000,
05:23there are still a lot of people who go to the bus lane, right?
05:26There are still a lot of people who are stubborn.
05:28Maybe if you increase the fine, they will be lenient, right?
05:32In the name of discipline, the rider, Jun Garcia, also agreed.
05:36He said that if the fine is lessened,
05:38it will be easier to avoid fighting.
05:40For me, the riders should be far away.
05:45I can experience it.
05:49I can accompany a lot of riders who go to the bus lane.
05:55But if the rider, Romel Nabatos, is the one who will be questioned,
05:57it is still a reality that a lot of people go to the bus lane
05:59who do not know that the police are like this.
06:01The fine is already less than Php5,000.
06:03How can it be increased?
06:06For me, sir, it's just my idea.
06:08Because there are people who are not able to avoid it.
06:14Those who are tired of the IDSA.
06:19It would be better if the fine is not increased.
06:23The commuter, Bernard Guilara,
06:25preferred to stay put on the fine of Php5,000
06:27for the first offense.
06:29He said that he will not repeat it.
06:31For the first offense, the fine of Php5,000 is okay.
06:33But if they do it again and again,
06:36it's okay to increase the fine
06:38so that the commuters will learn.
06:46So, Egan, let's talk about the traffic situation here
06:48in Edsa, Quezon Avenue,
06:50Southbound lane.
06:52The traffic is light and moderate.
06:54And the bus lane behind us,
06:56we can see that if no one is passing
06:58that is not allowed in the bus lane,
07:00the bus lanes are full
07:02for the commuters this morning.
07:04This is the street heat here
07:06in Quezon City, Bamalegre.
07:08For GMA Integrated News.
07:10The BRP Teresa Magbanua
07:12of the Philippine Coast Guard
07:14will continue the radio challenge
07:16inside the exclusive economic zone
07:18of the Philippines.
07:20This is China Coast Guard,
07:22vessel 3304.
07:24To avoid misunderstandings
07:26and miscalculations,
07:28please open your cuffs
07:30and leave this sea area immediately.
07:32You do not possess
07:34any legal authority to patrol
07:36within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.
07:38You are directed to depart
07:40immediately.
07:42According to the PCG, the BRP Teresa Magbanua
07:44will continue the radio challenge
07:46inside the China Coast Guard vessel 3304
07:48which is 86 nautical miles
07:50from Capones Island
07:52in Zambales.
07:54Aside from that, there are three other China Coast Guard vessels
07:56that were monitored in Bajo de Masinlo.
07:58BRP Teresa Magbanua
08:00and BRP Cabra
08:02went to Subic Port this Tuesday
08:04to bring back the boat of a fisherman.
08:06On Monday, January 27,
08:08BRP Cabra's fisherman
08:10had a hard time breathing.
08:12But the fisherman
08:14helped the rescuers.
08:16According to the PCG,
08:18CCG vessel 3304
08:20was near the boat
08:22of the fisherman
08:24but he did not swim.
08:26Meanwhile, China Coast Guard
08:29is monitoring the incident
08:31to bring it closer to the Zambales coastline
08:33at a distance
08:35of 72 nautical miles.
08:37BRP Teresa Magbanua
08:39reported that the CCG vessel
08:41was far away
08:43at a distance of more than
08:4580 nautical miles from Zambales.
08:49Some Filipino nerds
08:51are thinking of applying to the United States
08:53because of the U.S. President
08:55Donald Trump's immigration policies.
08:57But in an association there,
08:59Filipino nerds in the U.S.
09:01are still in demand
09:03because they are well-known.
09:05J.P. Soriano has the first news.
09:09They just graduated
09:11from a nursing course
09:13at a university in Manila
09:15by Frances and Bianca.
09:17They want to work in the Philippines
09:19as nurses.
09:21The salary is low
09:23and not enough.
09:25They say they are targeting
09:27American workers,
09:29especially their relatives.
09:31They can't help but worry
09:33that they will be accompanied
09:35by those who want to go to the U.S.
09:37because of the Trump administration's
09:39restriction on illegal immigrants.
09:41I think it will be harder
09:43for us to work or apply there
09:45since I feel
09:47they will be more strict
09:49in a way
09:51with the workers
09:53from other countries.
09:55But the U.S. Ambassador
09:57to the Philippines, Mary Kay Carlson,
09:59said that the Americans
10:01respect the Filipinos
10:03especially the Filipino nurses
10:05who helped
10:07and sacrificed in hospitals
10:09during the COVID-19 pandemic.
10:11The Filipino healthcare workers
10:13in the U.S.
10:15are diligent, hardworking,
10:17and kind.
10:19The administration
10:21is not proud
10:23but the Filipinos
10:25are great nurses.
10:27I think one of the major
10:29nurse exporters
10:31of nurses to go abroad
10:33is from the Philippines.
10:35Despite the worry,
10:37I think they still need
10:39us
10:41possibly.
10:43Of the 5 million nurses in the U.S.,
10:45there are 200,000 Filipino nurses
10:47or 4%
10:50of the nursing population
10:52in the U.S.
10:54According to the Philippine Nurses Association
10:56of America or PNAA,
10:58the need for hospitals
11:00in the U.S.
11:02is high for Filipino nurses.
11:04That's why the government
11:06of the Philippines can help
11:08the need of the U.S.
11:10when it comes to Trump's
11:12restriction on the issue of immigration.
11:14Given the rising needs
11:16of healthcare professionals,
11:18especially in the U.S.,
11:20I think that's going to be a leverage.
11:22Especially for us,
11:24the caliber of nurses
11:26from the Philippines
11:28is very high.
11:30This is the first news.
11:32J.P. Soriano
11:34for GMA Integrated News.
11:38The Philippine Nurses Association
11:40of America Foundation
11:42invited the Filipino nurses
11:44to their collaborative conference
11:46where GMA International
11:48is also present.
11:50The PNAA invited
11:52the nursing students to continue
11:54the spread of knowledge
11:56especially the need
11:58for nurses around the world.
12:08Selena Gomez reacted
12:10to a post by a politician
12:12who said she should be deported.
12:14Before this, Selena said,
12:16thanks for the laugh and the threat
12:18to Mr. Parker.
12:20Before this, a former Republican
12:22Senate candidate, Sam Parker,
12:24said in a repost,
12:26deport Selena Gomez.
12:28After that, Selena's video
12:30went viral and deleted
12:32where she became emotional
12:34about the start of the deportation
12:36policy of the Trump administration.
12:38Selena is a legal American citizen
12:40who was born in Texas in 1992
12:42and is a proud third generation
12:44American Mexican.
12:48Aside from the artists
12:50who will join forces
12:52in the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition
12:54collab that will be shown at GMA,
12:56there's something else to look forward to
12:58in the Big Collaboration.
13:00Big Brother himself
13:02will also have a host.
13:04First up is
13:06Ia Villania.
13:12Sir kuya, if your housemates
13:14have family and of course
13:16have a heart,

13:24Will you apply?
