NewsTranscript
00:00Good morning, sir, and to all the listeners and viewers of Kezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Division, I am Dr. Orlando Cruz, Chief Epidemiologist of the Kezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Division.
00:24Dr. Cruz, good morning.
00:26Good morning, sir, and to all the listeners and viewers of our program.
00:31Yes. Over the weekend, will there be additional cases? How many cases of dengue in the city?
00:37We will issue new cases later this afternoon. We are just consolidating them now. Our health centers opened on Saturday and Sunday.
00:51We have additional cases of dengue in our health centers.
00:56But when there was a press conference last Friday, if I'm not mistaken, there were more than 1,000 from January 1 to Feb 14.
01:05Yes. From January 1 to Feb 14, when we announced, there were more than 1,769 cases. We have reported 10 cases of fatalities.
01:21What is the effect of this number of dengue cases, doc, in the facility of Kezon City for those who have dengue?
01:29Will we have strain in our bed capacity in the hospitals?
01:35The majority do not need to be confined in the hospital.
01:41Our only problem is that the doctors cannot assess it immediately.
01:48That's the story of our 10 cases of fatalities.
01:55It took them more than seven days, more than five days before we can consult and get a doctor.
02:04That's why we announced an outbreak to inform our mothers and parents that there's a threat of dengue in our community.
02:17More on that point, doctor.
02:19Now, dengue is a common disease. There are many people who contract it.
02:24Is there a distinguishing symptom of dengue so parents can be warned that their children may be suffering from dengue?
02:35That's right.
02:37For those who died, the parents thought it was just a simple fever and they were given paracetamol on Monday.
02:49Our advice now is that if the child has a fever for one or two days, bring him to our nearest health center.
03:01In our health center, we have a free dengue test and it is available.
03:11Our advice is not to look for other symptoms as long as the child is healthy.
03:20It's important to rule out dengue.
03:24Yes. It's hard to distinguish it from other diseases.
03:30It's like there's no presentation.
03:33It's like a disease. The body is sick and the head is sick. That's what we can see.
03:40Paracetamol is thought to be the medicine for the disease.
03:46But he's only using it for the symptoms, not for the disease.
03:50Yes. It's the disease.
03:52But the virus is still multiplying in the body of the child.
03:58Sometimes, after three days, the child will have abdominal pain.
04:06He won't be able to eat or drink. The child will be paralyzed.
04:10Those are the dangerous signs of dengue.
04:14What steps will the Quezon City LGU take to address this outbreak?
04:21The mayor's order is for all local governments to help solve the dengue outbreak.
04:30The barangay captains have been ordered to look into their dengue control program.
04:37The priority is to kill the adult mosquitoes.
04:43They can bite the mosquitoes in the clusters area.
04:47They will follow the cleanup drive to the schools and to our community.
04:55We will identify where these places are.
04:59If you go down to our barangay, you will see it in Quezon City.
05:07Dr. Cruz, thank you very much. Thank you for joining us.
05:10Good morning and thank you very much.
05:13We talked to Dr. Rolando Cruz, Chief Epidemiologist of the Quezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Division.
05:29The Commission on Elections in Comelec stopped the printing of balotas for the parliamentary elections in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARMM.
05:39This was followed by the decision of the Bicameral Conference Committee to postpone its deadline to October 13, 2025,
05:45to ensure a clean and peaceful election.
05:49According to Comelec Chairman George Garcia, it is possible for the postponement of the election to become a law.
05:55Garcia assured that the printing of balotas will continue for the national and local elections in BARMM.
06:02We did not continue the printing of the balotas for the parliamentary elections in Bangsamoro,
06:08because there is a high possibility, because there is an enrollment bill, that this will become a law.
06:14The question is, do we need to reopen the filing of the candidacies?
06:19What will happen is, those who filed the candidacies will be the candidates and the names of the balotas should be printed.
06:28In Visayas and Arancada this Sunday, the GMA Masterclass Election 2025 Dapat Totoo Series.
06:36Among the speakers are GMA Season Broadcast Journalist and our guests, Susan Enriquez and Marie Zumali.
06:46GMA Sportscaster and Sports Analyst, Martin Antonio.

07:03And GMA Regional TV Digital News Managing Editor, Jobert Ocao.
07:08Host of the series, 24 or 24 Horas Game Changer segment host, Martin Javier.
07:14The Clash Season 4 Champion, Marian Osabel will entertain the audience.
07:19It starts today, February 17 to February 20.
07:24The GMA Masterclass Election 2025 Dapat Totoo Series aims to strengthen the propagation of truth and awareness to fight fake news and misinformation.
07:41Wow.
07:42Let's talk about the online gymnastics training of the young real stars, Miguel Tanchelics.
07:49No way!
07:51In fairness, Miguel showed off his skills in backflipping because he was with the Double Olympic Gold Medalist, Carlos Yulo.
08:01Miguel's saying in the caption, the training has a little pressure.
08:05The question is, will Carlos be able to win the Double Olympics Gold?
08:09What is Carlos' score in Miguel's backflip?
08:13I heard the answer.
08:14Ten.
08:15What did you guess?
08:16Ten.
08:17Ten.
08:18Ten.
08:19Oh sweet.
08:22The Senate has already started the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
08:29According to an expert, the Supreme Court may not allow this as a violation of the separation of powers and judiciary and legislative.
08:39We have first news, Mab Gonzalez.
08:42While the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is taking a long time in the Senate,
08:49there is a political instability, according to the constitutional law expert, Atty. Domingo Cayoza.
08:55He is in favor of passing the petition for mandamus in the Supreme Court for the magistrates to invoke the Senate that the impeachment trial has already started.
09:04The petition was initiated by the former Special Government Counsel of the Presidential Commission on Good Government or PCGG, Catalino Generilio Jr.
09:12It doesn't need to be finished but at least it has already started because they still have three to four months.
09:17The language of our Constitution is clear.
09:20The trial will start on the fourth week when they receive it.
09:24That means there is no delay.
09:26They are using legal doubts or issues.
09:31In fact, their main reason is that the re-electionists need money.
09:37Others are afraid of the backlash of black voters.
09:43According to Cayoza, now the senators have a copy of the Articles of Impeachment that states that VP Duterte should also receive a copy of it.
09:51In the Constitution, the deadline is clear, only 10 days.
09:55It's up to him to answer. Let's find out what his answer is.
09:59They just started it properly.
10:01It's unfair to the Vice President in a way.
10:04The complaint is already on the website.
10:07It's already in the public domain.
10:10But the other party hasn't given a formal answer yet.
10:13What's happening now is that there are trolls and their own interviews in the media.
10:17But according to Cayoza, the Supreme Court gave the mandamus petition as an excuse for the separation of powers of the judicature and legislature.
10:26The Supreme Court doesn't want a constitutional crisis.
10:29The Supreme Court doesn't care much because that's what we call separation of powers.
10:37It's a political question. When will it start?
10:40It is up to the wisdom of the elected senators and your respect for a co-equal branch of government.
10:48Retired Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said earlier that he is not in favor of the petition.
10:54Based on the Constitution, only the Senate has the power to hear and make decisions on all cases of impeachment.
11:01Only when there is a grave abuse of discretion can the Supreme Court come in.
11:07Like during the time of the impeachment of Davide.
11:11It's up to the President to call a special session.
11:14You can't just give a mandamus.
11:16We asked Vice President Sara Duterte and Senate President Cheese Escudero for a comment.
11:21But they still don't have an answer.
11:23But before, Escudero said that he doesn't think that a special session for impeachment should be convened.
11:29The Vice President said that his legal team is preparing for impeachment.
11:34This is the first news. Mav Gonzales for GMA Integrated News.
11:41The ships of the China Coast Guard are getting closer and closer to the Philippines.
11:45Yesterday, their three ships were spotted near El Nido, Palawan.
11:50Jonathan Andal has the first news.
11:54The three ships of the China Coast Guard are 35 nautical miles or 65 kilometers near El Nido, Palawan.
12:04Based on the estimate and monitoring of maritime security expert and former U.S. senior defense official, Ray Powell.
12:10They're getting pretty close. I'm not sure it's alarming, but it's certainly concerning.
12:14They believe their nine-dash line goes right around here and they're going to go right to the edge of where their nine-dash line is.
12:20It's becoming more and more common.
12:22So, you know, we're starting to see more and more of these intrusive patrols near Palawan.
12:28Just last week, a Chinese research vessel was also spotted near Palawan.
12:33But the Philippine Navy said that it followed the protocol of the ship that avoided bad weather.
12:39The ships of the China Coast Guard in Palawan came from Scarborough Shoal and went down to El Nido, but they also left there.
12:47We tried to confirm this with the Philippine Coast Guard, but they haven't responded yet.
12:52Last February 2, in Bolinao, Pangasinan, two ships of the Chinese Coast Guard also approached.
12:57But now in Palawan, they sent three ships.
13:01Usually, they go sort of one or maybe two at a time.
13:04So, taking three ships is sending a particular message of strength.
13:08The monster ship of China is no longer in the West Philippine Sea, according to Powell.
13:12But there are still Chinese ships of the China Coast Guard here.
13:16One of them was pushed by the Philippine Coast Guard away from Zambales.
13:2095 nautical miles from the middle of the province.
13:23But it's still inside the EEZ or Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
13:27Your illegal activity will be reported to higher authorities. Over.
13:32The Chinese ship of China was spotted by the BRP Cabra,
13:35on the other side of the turbulent waves there, reaching 5 to 8 feet.
13:41According to Powell, China is conducting intrusive patrols, which is not illegal.
13:48It's just aggressive, right?
13:50So, what the Philippines has tended to do is send out a ship or a plane or something just to monitor it.
13:56But according to the maritime law expert, Atty. J. Batong Bacal,
13:59the Philippines needs to convince other countries to take action against the United Nations.
14:05The United Nations is not taking much action.
14:08First, there are over 160 member countries.
14:11Second, many of them have been influenced by China.
14:16Their approach to the Coast Guard vessels is a threat.
14:20All of this shows that they are really stealing the sea and they really want to destroy it.
14:30Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio
14:35personally discussed how to strengthen the alliance of the Philippines and the United States
14:39to support Rubio's so-called destabilizing actions of China in the South China Sea.
14:44The Armed Forces of the Philippines also rebelled against the so-called Southern Theater Command of China
14:49that the Philippines is interfering in China's maritime rights when it joins the patrol
14:54with the United States and Canada in the West Philippine Sea.
14:57According to the AFP, it is not the Philippines that is interfering.
15:00We are also trying to get the statement of the Chinese Embassy about this.
15:04This is the first news. Jonathan Andal for GMA Integrated News.
15:09Peso per fish.
15:11That's the catch of the Paraguayan edition in Mandaluyong City as a catch against Denque.
15:16Under the program, the LGU will give a catch to each fish
15:21or fish that will be caught alive or dead.
15:24According to the Parangay Chairman, their problem is the increase of dengue cases since the new year.
15:29The LGU has already created an aquarium where they will put and kill the last fish and fish.
15:35The program will start on Friday.
15:40The LGU has declared a dengue outbreak.
15:43In the first news earlier to Dr. Orlando Cruz, the chief epidemiologist of QC,
15:48the Parangay Chairman has ordered to make contra-dengue cases even more severe.
15:54They also ordered residents to get tested immediately if they have symptoms of dengue such as fever.
16:04The price of pork has reached 400 pesos per kilo.
16:10Live from Marikina City, EJ Gomez has the first news.
16:14EJ.
16:19Iga, you're right, the price is really high.
16:24That's why for those of us who love pork,
16:28and the tight budget seems to be avoided in eating Filipino favorites
16:34such as adobong baboy, pork chop, or crispy pata.
16:41The price of pork has reached 450 pesos per kilo.
16:52Here in Marikina Public Market, the price of pork has increased to 100 pesos per kilo depending on the part.
17:00Liempo, for example, is 450 pesos now, which was 350 pesos per kilo before.
17:07Kasim is 380 pesos now, which was 280 pesos before.
17:13Pork chop is 60 pesos now, which is 380 pesos.
17:19Ribs is 80 pesos now, which is 400 pesos.
17:25Pata is 300 pesos now, which was 250 pesos before.
17:30According to the sellers,
17:32there are only a few people who take care of the pork, which is why it's expensive.
17:36And it's really expensive.
17:39Suppliers are expensive.
17:40They say that the pork is shorted now, that's why the price of pork is increasing.
17:45There's nothing that can be bought across the sea.
17:49And other farms are closing because the pork is running out.
17:55The market is in a bad shape now.
17:58As a discount, they also do other sales like tocino and longganisa to increase their income.
18:05Mirna's mother-in-law asks for 1,500 pesos per day to buy barbecue from her stores.
18:13Her income from grilling only reaches 500 pesos or sometimes even lower.
18:19It's really hard.
18:21Of course, it's getting higher and higher.
18:24The budget is running out.
18:27Mami Mili's sellers ask, when will the price of pork start to go down?
18:40According to our vendors,
18:42every weekend or if they have a chance, their income is getting back.
18:47It's because there are more people who buy pork from them.
18:53According to Mami Mili's sellers,
18:56if their craving for pork is not stopped, they will discard it.
19:03They will just reduce the amount of pork and add other ingredients such as vegetables.
19:10And that's the first news from Marikina City.
19:14EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
