00:07 Good morning. Here are the first news updates of GMA Integrated News.
00:14 A joint press conference will be held by several government agencies today to discuss the new incident of harassment in Ayungin, Saul this Saturday.
00:23 The Department of Foreign Affairs announced that Ayungin will be included in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
00:30 President Juan Miguel Zubiri said that the whole world should be aware of the activities of China that it has no place in civilization.
00:38 Senator Arisa Ontiveros said that the China Coast Guard has no right to block the Philippine ship that was bombing the water.
00:46 According to Senator Bong Revilla, the Chinese ambassador needs to explain the incident before it was passed by the Senate Resolution condemning the harassment of the China Coast Guard in the Philippine ships in the West Philippine Sea.
01:00 The U.S. State Department of China has been instructed to follow the 2016 Arbitral Tribunal Ruling and respect the freedom of navigation.
01:07 The Canadian Embassy said that the use of water cannons in the Philippine ships is not acceptable and violates international law.
01:16 The European Union ambassador is also a supporter of the Philippines in enforcing the rules-based international order.
01:22 On the website of the China Coast Guard, their spokesperson said that they only did the right action to block the Philippine sea vehicles that are entering and carrying illegal building materials.
01:39 GMA Integrated News is still trying to get hold of the Malacanang Chinese Embassy.
01:45 [Music]
01:47 Kapuso, we are now back here at the EDSA busway, right in front of the MRT North Avenue Station.
01:57 As you can see, this area is just a part of the DPWH.
02:04 This is just one of the many parts of EDSA that was damaged in the following typhoon Egy, typhoon Falcon, and of course the typhoon Haiha Bagat.
02:13 It rained for several days and of course the effect of that is that there are many holes that were formed in some parts of EDSA.
02:21 The repairs started this evening of Friday, April 4, and it is expected to be completed by the morning of April 9, Wednesday.
02:34 Of course, because some parts of EDSA busway are closed, the buses are outside.
02:42 Here in some motorists, sorry, it's August, I mentioned earlier that it's April, it's August.
02:50 As I mentioned, the buses are mixed here in some motorists, so we had a heavy traffic, especially this weekend.
03:00 This is Monday, our countrymen are working hard to see what the effect of this will be on the road traffic here in EDSA.
03:07 To answer that, we will talk to the head of the Interagency Council for Traffic, Sir Charlie Del Rosario. Good morning.
03:14 Thank you for joining us.
03:15 Good morning. First of all, I will just give you an update, maybe there is a communication from the DPWH to you.
03:21 What is the progress and if there is a possibility that our repairs will be extended.
03:25 As of now, we have not received any announcement or coordination that the DPWH will extend the construction of our EDSA,
03:37 particularly here in the affected area of the EDSA bus carousel. This is scheduled until Wednesday.
03:44 So far, it means that we don't have an area, so it looks like it's on target.
03:48 Yes, the weather is good. The weather is included in the last three days. It didn't rain.
03:55 So hopefully, our curing will be completed within until Wednesday. If this day is extended, the entire length of our repair will be extended.
04:04 Sir Charlie, what is the effect of the repairs on our traffic over the weekend?
04:10 Over the weekend, we were surprised. It was very light. Except for the night of the 4th, where the civil works started here in EDSA.
04:21 But even so, there is the IAC, the MMDA Coast Guard who guarded our station.
04:28 That's why we didn't see any disturbance. Except for a reported that was a bit dizzy while in traffic.
04:37 But we were able to avoid it and we were able to park our vehicle.
04:40 But that's the weekend. Many people went out to Metro Manila. Now, our countrymen are returning to Metro Manila.
04:47 What is the expected effect of the repairs on EDSA traffic?
04:52 There will still be an effect, but with the many MMDAs and IACs, we will see that the traffic will still be normal.
05:05 Sir, this really needs to be done. We cannot ignore this. We cannot not do this.
05:11 Yes, this is necessary to ensure that the experience of our passengers is safe and comfortable.
05:22 How can we say it is comfortable if our roads are a bit bumpy?
05:27 It's like you're in a swamp, sir.
05:29 Sir, where are the passengers of the busway? For example, this part here, this is where the bus used to pass.
05:36 Where are they now, like what we see on our right?
05:39 They are on the curbside. If we can see, they are on the curbside.
05:44 This is a reminder of the Philippine Coast Guard, IAC, and the MMDA. We cannot ignore this.
05:50 This road from Quezon Avenue, northbound, to Cainin Station, there is a civil work being done.
05:59 So all of our buses from Quezon Avenue, when the flyover comes down, it will go straight down.
06:06 The road is on the curbside.
06:08 Sir, what do you want to announce to our motoring public?
06:15 Especially today, Monday to Wednesday, we expect that the repairs will continue and therefore, our traffic.
06:22 Yes, I am taking this opportunity to say that, private and public vehicles, if we can avoid the Edsa's dam,
06:33 we should avoid it. The MMDA issued a lot of alternate roads.
06:38 But if we cannot avoid the Edsa's dam, we should be patient.
06:45 There is a saying, "Be patient, the long road is waiting."
06:50 We will also chase the bus drivers. You cannot be here in the busway.
06:55 Yes, you will be in trouble. Our cement is soft.
07:00 So if possible, we should avoid being outside the bus carousel.
07:05 Also, private vehicles are not allowed in the bus carousel.
07:09 We have talked to Sir Charlie Del Rosario of the Interagency Council for Traffic.
07:13 Thank you very much. Good morning to you.
07:15 Thank you.
07:16 And that is the latest on the repairs being done in Edsa busway and other parts of Edsa.
07:21 Just a bit of patience.
07:23 On Wednesday morning, so far, they are on track on the repairs.
07:28 Let's go back to the studio.
07:30 While the price of fish in some regions has increased, which is affected by the recent typhoons,
07:34 Panayaman Super Radio-DCW said that the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources spokesperson, Nazario Briguera,
07:41 that this is due to the limited supply of fish.
07:44 The price of fish in the fishing sector is around Php600 million.
07:50 Almost 13,000 fish were affected from regions 1, 2, 3, in the Cordillera Administrative Region and in Mimaropa.
08:00 In the latest monitoring of BIFAR, the price of galunggong is Php280 per kilo.
08:06 The price of tilapia is stable at Php130 per kilo and bangus is Php140 per kilo.
08:15 The government will again distribute fuel subsidies to public utility vehicle operators and drivers.
08:21 According to the Department of Transportation, Php2.95 billion was the amount of funds allocated.
08:28 Based on the LTFRB data, Php10,000 will be given to each modern public utility jeepney and modern UV Express.
08:36 Php6,500 to other PUVs like traditional jeepney and UV Express, bus and taxi.
08:43 Tricycle drivers will receive Php1,000 and Php1,200 in aid to delivery service riders.
08:51 The government will announce the amount of fuel subsidy distribution on the same day.
08:58 This is our show with Chika, a K-pop group that is an icon at Gravity.
09:02 She has a strong performance all the way from South Korea.
09:06 Korean singer and TV personality Eric Nam has a revelation.
09:12 Who is the Filipino artist that he wants to collaborate with?
09:15 Here is Chika of Kata, Tibayan and Audrey Carambel.
09:26 The K-pop group IKON took off all the way here in the Philippines for their 2023 Take Off World Tour.
09:34 The fans and IKONICS gave everything to their idol,
09:43 while waving their combat lightsticks.
09:48 You're gonna have fun tonight, right? Thank you so much.
09:51 Thank you for coming today. Long time no see.
09:57 After the concert of K-pop group Gravity in Manila,
10:04 the fans were even happier with the dance of the group Gento of SB19.
10:16 The fan meeting of Korean American singer and host Eric Nam in Taguig was also a concert.
10:21 He sang his latest single "House on a Hill".
10:25 He said he is a best friend to his fellow fans.
10:42 Eric also met Christian Bautista. They are the two singers of the Korean tagline version of "Princess Hours".
10:48 It was a OST that was watched here in GMA.
10:51 Who is the Filipino artist that Eric wants to collaborate with?
11:06 I know of SB19. I also...
11:09 Gento.
11:10 I know. I just saw that. They're in like a gold mine doing things in a gold mine.
11:14 I was like, "Oh, that's interesting."
11:16 But no, they have some really fun music.
11:18 But I'm looking forward to doing a much deeper dive into Filipino pop culture.
11:24 This is the first news.
11:26 Obri Carampel, Kataatibayan for GMA Integrated News.
11:32 The price of oil is rising week after week.
11:36 How are you, Chupers?
11:38 And from Marikina, we have live news.
11:40 Bam Alegre.
11:42 Bam?
11:44 Good morning. It's Sunday again.
11:50 Another oil price hike for the Chupers.
11:58 Jeffrey Padua is just a coffee shop in his farm in the early morning.
12:02 The oil price has been rising for several weeks now.
12:05 But how far will his hard work go?
12:08 If there's an oil price hike this week, he'll be able to earn again.
12:13 It has a big effect on us, sir.
12:15 Because the price is rising.
12:17 If it keeps rising, we'll have a hard time.
12:20 We're earning less.
12:22 The price of gas will increase even more.
12:27 If we work hard, we'll have around P500-700.
12:31 We're working hard.
12:33 There are a lot of cars now.
12:36 According to the information of industry sources,
12:38 the price of diesel will increase by P4 per liter this week.
12:43 P10 to P50 for gasoline and P2 to P3 for kerosene.
12:47 In the current price range,
12:49 the price of diesel can go from P57 to P71.
12:53 P56 to P78 for gasoline.
12:56 And P73 to P86 for kerosene.
12:59 According to the Department of Energy,
13:01 they will not tolerate the increase in the price of crude oil
13:04 because Saudi Arabia's production has decreased.
13:06 It's one of the main reasons for this.
13:08 According to the Department of Transportation,
13:10 the government has decided to issue a P2.95 billion fuel subsidy
13:14 for public utility vehicles.
13:17 There's a P10,000 aid for modern public utility jeepneys
13:21 and modern UV Express.
13:23 P1,000 for tricycle drivers and P1,200 for delivery riders.
13:28 It's a big help for drivers like Arnel Aquino
13:31 who have a lot of competitors in the queue.
13:33 But they don't want to rely on this.
13:35 If there are, they say thank you.
13:37 If not, they'll say they'll work hard.
13:39 That's the hard part.
13:40 We'll rely on nothing, but it doesn't come.
13:43 It's hard for us, drivers, especially for us.
13:47 We're just boundaries.
13:49 And the pressure doesn't change.
13:52 [vehicle engine roaring]
13:54 A group of jeepney operators and drivers petitioned
14:01 for a massage that will be conducted during rush hour.
14:05 But it's still being discussed.
14:07 This is the first news from Marikina,
14:09 Bamalegre for GMA Integrated News.
14:11 Another Phil Amsinger is making his name
14:14 in the international music scene.
14:16 He's the winner of Hitmaker Easy Mill or Ezekiel Miller.
14:20 Yes, in a music video, he's with the award-winning rapper, Eminem.
14:26 That's the girl, Kata Tibayan.
14:29 Hi, Kata!
14:30 From his trending hits like "Panalo,"
14:36 and up and down that has gained millions of views online.
14:46 [rap music playing]
14:51 Phil Amsinger's rapper and composer, Ezekiel Miller or Easy Mill,
14:55 is continuing to make his name in the global music scene.
14:59 The award-winning rapper and producer of Eminem and Dr. Dre
15:04 is known for his single "Up Down."
15:07 Easy Mill is one of the roster of talents
15:10 of Eminem's Shady Records
15:12 and Dr. Dre's record labels, Interscope Records and Aftermath Entertainment.
15:18 The award-winning artists, Kendrick Lamar and Silk Sonic, are also included.
15:24 The Realest has a collab with Easy and Eminem.
15:28 I was trying to keep myself calm and collected.
15:32 But it's just surreal, you know.
15:34 Actually, a couple of days, I made the beat of Realist
15:38 and I didn't even know that it was them yet.
15:41 And then finding out that it was them,
15:44 I just went crazy.
15:46 I heard the instrumental of Realist from them.
15:52 And Dre said, "Yo, Marshall, go eat that up."
15:56 And then, yeah.
15:59 And then Em at the background of the studio was like,
16:02 "Yo, give it to me."
16:04 Eminem said that Shady Records is very selective with their talent.
16:09 And it's rare that Dr. Dre co-signed with Easy Mill.
16:14 For Eminem and Dr. Dre,
16:16 they found something special when they heard Easy's music.
16:20 Easy's passion for both is high
16:23 and he considers them as his mentors in music.
16:25 Now, Easy is ready to share the Filipino music
16:29 and the original Filipino rap on the global music stage.
16:32 Filipino rap, it's trying to evolve as well with the times.
16:38 So, like, just being part of that as well.
16:43 I also want to learn and notice the Tagalog rap, the pure.
16:51 Because it's also different, like, the feeling of it.
16:56 That's what we're listening to.
16:58 So, yeah, I can also expect me being a part of that.
17:03 Meanwhile, Easy to the young Filipino rappers.
17:06 Keep going.
17:08 Just keep going.
17:10 Don't give up on your dream, promise.
17:13 No matter how hard it is now,
17:17 if you think it's so hard to reach,
17:21 just keep on, keep it on, man.
17:24 We can do it.
17:27 This is the first news.
17:29 Kataatibayan for GMA Integrated News.
17:33 The price of rice has risen for the Mami Mili in Quezon City this Monday.
17:38 First news live, James D'Agostino.
17:41 Good morning, James.
17:43 How high is the price?
17:45 Maris, good morning.
17:49 The price of rice has risen by P2 per kilo.
17:52 It's here in the Litex Market in Quezon City.
17:55 So, the Mami Mili and the businessmen,
17:57 they're all discarding their rice to save.
18:00 More than 30 kilos of rice is being sold every day by Marisel
18:04 in her rice mill.
18:06 Now, the price of rice has risen.
18:08 She's now discarding it.
18:10 It's high.
18:11 The price of rice we're buying is too high.
18:15 What kind of discarding are you doing?
18:17 We're not really squeezing the rice to get rid of it.
18:24 Their rice sales are P10 per cup.
18:26 They can't just raise the price
18:28 when they have a lot of customers.
18:30 It's hard for us to raise the price
18:32 because we don't have anything to buy
18:35 because our neighbors are just like us.
18:38 Felix bought 2 kilos of rice.
18:40 He said the price of rice is low
18:42 as long as the partner is delicious.
18:44 It's really too high.
18:46 It's too high.
18:48 Rice is expensive.
18:49 How can you do that?
18:50 It's a pity if you don't have a job.
18:52 In this store in the Litex Market,
18:54 3 pesos are being discarded per kilo of rice.
18:56 The cheapest is P43 per kilo of well-milled rice
18:59 while the premium rice is P44 to P47 depending on the class.
19:04 If there's an extra budget,
19:05 you can buy rice that's P50 to P54 per kilo.
19:09 In the market,
19:10 the price of rice is P50 to P54 per kilo.
19:13 The sellers said they got a high price from the supplier.
19:16 This is how high the price of rice is
19:18 because of the next typhoon that we experienced in the past few days.
19:22 There's no rice supply.
19:24 That's the only thing they supply.
19:27 No rice is coming from Bulacan or Bukaw.
19:30 How will you sell it even if the price is high?
19:34 Sir, the price is really low.
19:38 It's really high.
19:41 That's how we sell it.
19:43 I can't sell it at a high price.
19:46 I'm sorry.
19:47 I'm just reminding the poor people who can't afford to buy rice at a high price.
19:54 The price of brown rice did not go up to P60 per kilo
19:58 while the price of red rice is P65 per kilo.
20:05 [vehicle passing by]
20:08 Meanwhile, the sellers said
20:11 one of the best sellers, especially among the businessmen,
20:14 is the high price of commercial rice that can be bought at P46 per kilo.
20:19 That's the first news from Quezon City.
20:21 I'm James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
20:24 Today, the National Kickoff of the Eskwela Brigade will start.
20:30 The President and Education Secretary, Sara Duterte, will lead the process at Tarlac National High School.
20:37 Some teachers also joined the activity.
20:40 The Eskwela Brigade is a project of the Department of Education
20:43 to prepare the students for the reopening of the classes.
20:47 According to the DepEd, after the National Kickoff,
20:49 the regional and division offices will conduct the kickoff of the Eskwela Brigade from August 8 to 11.
20:56 While from August 14 to 19, the Eskwela Brigade will conduct the kickoff of all classes
21:01 that have the theme of "Citizenship for Stable Education."
21:04 This will be the kickoff of the official school reopening on August 29.
21:09 Because some senators are going to review the reclamation project in Manila Bay,
21:17 we will talk to the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources,
21:22 Senator Cinthia Villar.
21:24 Senator Villar, good morning.
21:26 Good morning.
21:28 Why is this reclamation project in Manila Bay being pushed?
21:33 Is this for Egan?
21:36 Yes, this is for Egan.
21:38 Okay. Good morning Egan and all our listeners of CMA 7.
21:44 Thank you.
21:45 You know, like the experience of Las Piñas,
21:49 we have four rivers here in Las Piñas, Paranaque, Baco or Molino River, Sapote River, Las Piñas River, Paranaque River.
22:00 If we continue the reclamation in our part of Manila Bay,
22:04 the water of our four rivers will not be released and we predicted that we will flood six to eight meters.
22:12 Six meters is a three-story building.
22:15 That's why in 2010, we fought against the reclamation because we don't want our place to be flooded.
22:26 If the reclamation is already done, how can we remove it?
22:33 We cannot remove it. Before it happens, we should fight it.
22:38 Yes. But how did you get the license and permission if there are such concerns?
22:45 I already talked to the DNR when they were about to give it.
22:51 I talked to former EMV Director Conado.
22:55 He gave the decision under former Secretary of DNR, Matu.
23:01 But they didn't listen to me.
23:03 I always told them to study it because I'm not just complaining.
23:09 North Harbor, South Harbor, US Embassy, and the Philippine Yacht Club are also complaining.
23:18 Many are complaining because how will North Harbor and South Harbor function
23:24 if you will flood their front? Where will the steamers go to North Harbor and South Harbor?
23:35 And us, how about our rivers? I'm sure all of us here in Manila Bay have rivers.
23:41 Where will our Manila Bay come out if they will flood it?
23:45 According to Judge Secretary Boing Rimulya Senadora, it's easy to give this reclamation contract.
23:54 Did you receive that information?
23:56 Yes. In a period of one year, 21 ECC. How can you do that?
24:03 There are people who are studying it. They didn't listen to me and they stopped it.
24:08 They issued an ECC. We also have the Mandamus of Manila Bay that was won by Atty. Oposa in 2000.
24:20 Manila Bay should be cleaned by 13 government agencies.
24:25 Make sure the water is clean and people can swim.
24:30 Now they will just flood Manila Bay. What is the use of the Mandamus of the Supreme Court?
24:36 Senator, have you talked to Senator Gatchalian? His family is behind the waterfront, which is under his project.
24:45 I'm not talking to him because it's his personal.
24:50 They might say I'm personalizing them. For me, it's a protection of the cities around Manila Bay.
25:00 We won't have a problem. That's what I'm after. I'm not against any personal.
25:06 But we are developers. We won't reclaim.
25:12 It's easy to buy land. There's a lot of land in the Philippines. Why would you flood the sea to get land?
25:20 What is the plan of your committee so the reclamation project won't continue? Do you have scheduled public hearings?
25:27 We are preparing. I went to the President and Secretary Loizaga.
25:36 I showed them the map of our proposed reclamation on this part of Manila Bay.
25:43 I told them that we are a legislated protected area.
25:47 We are entitled to a buffer zone of three kilometers provided for by DNR.
25:54 That's why we need to not have a reclamation in our three-kilometer buffer zone because that's where our water flows from,
26:02 from our four rivers. But if this is what's happening, I'm not the only one who's complaining, many are complaining,
26:10 I guess we have to prepare for a public hearing.
26:13 Is there a research of your committee that this flood, this flood and floodwaters, does this reclamation have anything to do with Manila Bay, Sen.?
26:22 Maybe it's common sense. For example, even if your river is good, if you have a problem with the river,
26:34 but if there's no problem, the river will come out. Even if your river is good, like me, I constructed 40 kilometers of river drive
26:42 so the river is clean and we are removing the river every day. But if they block the river that will pass through our river,
26:49 it will come out of Manila Bay and we will be flooded. I think it's common sense.
26:55 Okay. Thank you very much Sen. Cinthia Villar. Take care.
26:59 Thank you. Thank you to our listeners.
27:03 The class will start soon. Augusto, how are you doing with the back to school shopping in Divisoria, Sampabah in Manila?
27:10 First news live, Niko Juaez. Niko, you're already a family there.
27:17 We were already tricked by the tour. But there are only a few school supplies sellers here.
27:27 The reason is that the buyers of school supplies are lazy.
27:33 There are also some items that have a higher price.
27:37 The grandfather has been selling school bags here in Divisoria for two weeks. But until now, he has not sold anything.
27:50 I'm lazy, sir. I'm lazy. I'm not buying anything.
27:54 Even though his bag is a bit cheap, the elementary bag is only P2 for P150.
28:00 The bag for high school is P200 each.
28:04 I even managed to buy a ball pen and highlighter for student Siracma.
28:09 He said he first bought this so that his parents can save money on buying more.
28:14 Do you have any items in Esuela?
28:16 Not yet.
28:17 Why not?
28:19 It's been a long time. Others are still saving. I'm just advancing on the price of the items.
28:28 Here in his area, he started selling school supplies yesterday. He said that he's only buying one at a time.
28:34 I still can't feel the buying because the students are not entering at the same time.
28:42 There are some that are sold one by one because the students are not releasing what they need.
28:48 They just started selling school supplies again.
28:51 The last one was in 2019 or before the pandemic.
28:55 What's noticeable is the high price of school supplies, especially notebooks.
28:59 In 2019, each composition notebook was P11 each.
29:03 It's thin, has a spring.
29:06 Now, they're selling it for P25.
29:09 Writing notebook is P24.
29:12 Pencil is P10 to P15 depending on the class.
29:16 Ball pen is P10.
29:18 Pencil case is P50 to P100 depending on the class.
29:23 Eraser, glue, and pencil are P20 each.
29:26 Marker and highlighter are the same.
29:29 Crayons are P40 each or 8 pieces.
29:33 Watercolor is P20 to P35.
29:36 Scissors are for P10 to P20.
29:39 Paper for grade 1 to grade 4 is P20.
29:43 Intermediate pad is P35.
29:46 Ruler set is P25 to P50 each.
29:50 Uniform sales are also high.
29:53 In this store, the previous set of uniform for elementary school students is P300.
29:59 Now, it's P350.
30:01 The elementary uniform is P350 to P380.
30:09 If you don't want to buy the set, you can buy one by one.
30:12 Like the polo, the price is P250 to P280 depending on the size.
30:17 The slacks for grade school are P230 to P250 each.
30:23 The high school uniform is P300 to P350.
30:26 The skirt is P150 to P180 for grade school.
30:31 The high school uniform is P250 to P300.
30:34 The plain white shirt is P100 to P150 depending on the size.
30:40 The white sandals are P250 to P150.
30:45 The black shoes are P230 to P250 for men.
30:49 The women's uniform is P170 to P200.
30:53 For children, it's P170 to P180.
30:57 You can buy a pair of socks for P340 to P450.
31:01 Friends, school supplies are expected to increase their income by August 29.
