00:00After the two ships of China left the Exclusive Economic Zone, which was first spotted in Pangasinan,
00:11they saw three ships in Mindanao, according to the Philippine Navy.
00:16One of them was the ship of the Chinese Navy, which was spotted in Sulusi near Basilan.
00:22It was accompanied by a warship and an oil tanker.
00:26According to the Philippine Navy, from Bajo de Masinloc, BRP Jose Rizal spotted a Jiangkai-class two-missile frigate
00:34up to Mindoro.
00:36It was accompanied by two ships up to Babasilan.
00:40When it reached 50 nautical miles from the island, the ships suddenly slowed down.
00:45They were accompanied by airplanes and ships of the Philippines and were intercepted.
00:50The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines has not yet announced its location.
00:55Finally, the two ships of the Philippines, worth almost two million pesos,
01:00were caught using a mode of deception.
01:04Let's find out what happened in the news of the June Generation.
01:13Due to the complaint of scamming, the two Liberian nationals in Quezon City were arrested for the operation of PNP-CIDG.
01:25The suspects obtained a total of 1.8 million pesos after the victim confessed that they were able to get U.S. dollar bills.
01:33It was like magic.
01:35In front of the suspects, the suspects showed the victim the explosion of chemical powder on a piece of green paper to make dollars.
01:43One of them showed how the paper will turn into dollars.
01:48The other one, they will keep him or her busy.
01:53If he is careless, he will exchange the paper for the original dollar.
02:00That's how fast their hands are.
02:03The so-called magic dollar was brought by the victim to the money changer to be exchanged.
02:08That's why he was more convinced that the dollar is real.
02:11When the victim saw the suspects again,
02:14he started to ask for money to buy chemical powder and green paper to make dollars.
02:22You will be given a real U.S. dollar.
02:26This is a lucrative scheme.
02:30The suspects were slapped with the complaint of scamming.
02:33It is illegal to use and to make banknotes.
02:36We are still trying to get their money.

06:21On February 9, the coronation night of Nadia in Bolivia.
06:27The Supreme Court has already discussed the controversial transfer of the PhilHealth fund to the National Treasury.
06:34The government denied that this was not a violated law and the police agreed to regulate the economy.
06:41Salima Refran reported.
06:48Before the oral arguments, different groups made a move in the Supreme Court.
06:55All of them, one by one, declared that the transfer of almost P10 billion,
07:02which was not used by the PhilHealth fund, to the National Treasury was against the law,
07:06to be used in other government projects.
07:09Many of the money in PhilHealth benefits the officials.
07:15Our call is to provide direct funding to the public health facilities
07:23such as the public health centers, the public hospitals.
07:29In the oral arguments, the petitioners laid the arguments
07:33as to why the transfer of the fund is unconstitutional for them,
07:38particularly the Department of Finance Circular 003-2024
07:43and a provision in the General Appropriations Act that passed here.
07:48PhilHealth's money is not too much,
07:51and the public health assistance received is not enough.
08:19Financial statements show the member's equity as being negative P600 billion plus.
08:25This is signed by the highest officials of PhilHealth
08:28and expressed admission by PhilHealth that its equity is negative by over P600 billion.
08:35Secretary Ralph Recto, Health Secretary Tedoro Herbosa,
08:40Social Welfare Secretary Rex Gatsalian,
08:43and PhilHealth President Emanuele Desmond Jr.
08:47The Office of the Solicitor General and the Office of the Government Corporate Council
08:52are the ones to blame and the other respondents,
08:55the Office of the President, the Senate and the House of Representatives,
08:58the Government's gate that, according to the law,
09:01has no objection to the transfer of unused funds.
09:06It was the Executive and Legislative Department's way
09:10of creating and implementing a fiscal policy to boost economic growth.
09:17Without bloating the government's indebtedness or burdening the people,
09:22it is a common-sense approach that does not violate any law,
09:28much less the Constitution.
09:30I assure the Honorable Court and the people that,
09:34contrary to what has been portrayed by some critics,
09:38there was no dark or sinister plan
09:42behind the transfer of the Php16 billion fund balance
09:47from PhilHealth to the Treasury.
09:50Three petitions in opposition to the transfer of PhilHealth funds
09:53were heard here in the Supreme Court.
09:55It is now consolidated.
09:57It means that both sides will now hear it.
09:59Here in the oral arguments, the magistrates may ask questions.
10:04Associate Justice Amy Lazaro-Javier blames PhilHealth for having too much funds.
10:11Benefit payments should be included in the reserve fund.
10:17Don't you think so?
10:19But Your Honor, for every year, we have a specific target
10:24or a specific portion that is set aside for benefit payments.
10:27Yes, I know that.
10:28If it falls short, if the target falls short,
10:33that's when we call on the funds.
10:35Yes.
10:36But Your Honor, I would like to highlight that every year
10:40PhilHealth actually generates more revenues than expenditures.
10:46I will show you the report of COA,
10:49which shows that PhilHealth is bankrupt, actually.
10:53I don't know if you're aware of that.
10:55You ought to be aware.
10:57If you are, Your Honor.
10:59And COA has repeatedly highlighted that in its letters to PhilHealth.
11:06And then COA said that for many years, at least three years,
11:1121, 22, 23, the reserve fund of PhilHealth is much, much less
11:19than its actuarial fund, actuarial estimate.
11:25In October, the Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order
11:29on the transfer of PhilHealth funds.
11:32But the National Treasury was able to return the P60 billion in funds.
11:37The Department of Finance said that it has used 78% of this amount
11:43for critical health projects,
11:45such as Public Health Emergency Benefits and Allowance
11:48for healthcare and non-healthcare personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic.
11:53Medical assistance for poor patients.
11:56Medical equipment purchased.
11:59Construction of three DOH Health Facilities
12:02and Health Facilities Enhancement Program.
12:05The magistrates will continue their questions
12:08in the next oral arguments on February 25.
12:12Sanima Refra reporting for GMA Integrated News.
12:16Oops.
12:25The Election Commission has a notice for the candidates
12:28to declare their spending for the campaign.
12:31Comelec is ready to discuss anything
12:35about the possible postponement of BARMM parliamentary elections.
12:40Manny Vargas of Super Radio DZBB is on the spot.
12:44Manny?
12:46Yes sir Connie.
12:47The Commission on Elections will work on all issues that may arise this year.
12:52For example, in Manila Bay,
12:54Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia said
12:56that this is due to changes that are taking place
12:58and may happen in the upcoming super election year.
13:01This includes the passing of the Congress
13:03on the postponement of parliamentary elections in BARMM in October,
13:07instead of accompanying the national and local elections in May.
13:10If this will happen,
13:11they need to prepare for the possible opening of the filing
13:15for the additional running in the parliament in June.
13:18If this will be blocked in the Supreme Court,
13:21they also need to prepare for the possibility
13:23of continuing the vote in the parliamentary BARMM in May
13:26and to pursue the printing of ballots.
13:29Six days ago,
13:31before the start of the national campaign period on February 11,
13:34Comelec reminded the candidates
13:37that they will be limited in implementing the measure on SOCE
13:41or the Statement of Contributions and Expenditures.
13:44Comelec also reminded the candidates
13:46who will run in the election of 2025
13:48to comply with the proposed measure on SOCE.
13:50Comelec and the bank's regulations on SOCE
13:53were approved today.
13:55Garcia explained that they will not accept free expenses for these
14:00because the SOCE will be included in the donation
14:02that will be accepted by a candidate.
14:04Comelec Chairman also warned that the candidates
14:06who will run in the next election
14:10will be disqualified
14:12from participating in the next two elections.
14:17Thank you very much Manny Vargas of Super Radio DZBB.
