00:00 [Music]
00:09 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:16 Groups that are monitoring rice and crops are urging the Philippines to pass the government of price control on rice.
00:24 They believe that there is manipulation in the price. That's why the price of rice is increased by 10 pesos per kilo.
00:30 According to the latest price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture, the price of well-milled rice is now 52 pesos per kilo.
00:37 It seems that other groups are also raising the price ceiling of 38 pesos per kilo of rice.
00:42 The DA said that they haven't seen an emergency to pass the price control.
00:47 The DA also said that if there is price manipulation,
00:52 they need to help inspect the rice fields.
00:55 The Senate Interpolation joined the discussion on promoting mental health in schools.
01:01 Under the discussion, mental health personnel will be assigned to public schools.
01:06 But the problem is, the lack of mental health personnel, especially in 47,000 public schools in the country,
01:14 is not the number of students who are taking courses related to guidance counseling or psychology.
01:20 They need to help the Commission on Higher Education to encourage more youths to take the courses.
01:27 It is up to Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel to take care of this issue before the government passes the decision due to the lack of personnel and funds.
01:36 Regarding the Asian oil price hike and the harassment of some transport groups in Taas, Pasay, let's go back to Commonwealth Avenue with our co-host Maris Umali.
01:46 [Music]
01:48 Yes, good morning, Ate. We are still here at Commonwealth Avenue, at the terminal of public vehicles.
02:00 Because of the recent increase in the price of oil products,
02:07 the oil price hike in gasoline is 1.90 pesos per liter, 1.50 pesos per liter in diesel, and 2.50 pesos per liter in kerosene.
02:19 That is the reason why some transport groups are asking for an increase in the price of oil in Pasay.
02:28 Last Friday, they asked the LTFRB, and we will talk about this later, General Zaldi Pingay, the National President of the Stop and Go Transport Coalition.
02:37 Good morning to you, Sir Zaldi.
02:39 Alright, let's talk here.
02:42 First of all, Sir, last Friday, you wrote a 2-peso increase in the price of oil.
02:54 What is your request? What the LTFRB was saying at that time was that it should be a verified petition and not just a written request.
03:03 In my opinion, they cannot just make it technical because they are saying that it should be a verified petition.
03:10 Whatever written request it is, it should be looked at and studied.
03:15 Whatever written request it is, whatever kind of written request it is.
03:19 Yesterday, Chairman Guadis himself spoke and said that the 2 pesos is too high.
03:24 Even a peso is already hurting the passengers. What is your reaction to this?
03:29 Yes, that is why we are asking for 2 pesos because we know that the increase in diesel is out of control.
03:34 So if we are asking for pesos and the increase in diesel is continuous, that means after that we will ask for more.
03:44 We know that it is very difficult for them to make a decision in case we are going to make a petition.
03:50 Now, I hope that everything will be more comfortable.
03:56 They have an initiative, MCE 200019.035.
04:02 It would be better if they will implement that.
04:06 Because it was not removed, it was not amended.
04:10 Yes, it was not amended and it did not lose its visa.
04:13 It is continuously losing its visa.
04:14 Sir, in this situation, there is a change in the price of crude oil.
04:19 How many jeepney drivers are going home?
04:23 At the moment, because the price has already reached 13 pesos,
04:30 because it has increased again, the 25 liters that they consumed in one day,
04:35 only 300 are coming out of their income.
04:39 If they earn 600 a day, you will lessen the 300.
04:43 Only 300.
04:45 So how will 300 be able to survive?
04:47 So this is a big pain.
04:49 All right, what I will ask you is, LTIFRB is saying that you have to expect fuel subsidy from the government.
04:56 For the modern jeepneys and UV Express van, it is 10,000 pesos.
05:01 For other public utility vehicles, 6,500 pesos.
05:06 For bicycles, 1,000 pesos. And delivery riders, 1,200 pesos.
05:09 What is your reaction to this?
05:11 Will this be enough or do you still need a fair increase?
05:15 It will not be enough because 6,500 is only once a year.
05:20 If you divide 6,500 by 365 days,
05:25 the government subsidy will only be 17.80 cents per day.
05:31 So it will not be enough.
05:34 So we are just calling out to LTIFRB and passengers,
05:38 to the public vehicles.
05:40 To the passengers,
05:42 we are not asking this just to make our lives easier,
05:49 but this is just to make sure that we are not hungry.
05:52 And we know that we have no other choice but to ask for a fair increase
05:59 whenever the diesel price will rise because we have no other choice.
06:05 Why? Because in other businesses,
06:09 when the price rises, they don't have to ask the government for a raise.
06:15 Just like yesterday, do you know the price of rice?
06:19 Before, the price of rice was 1,200 pesos. Now, it is 1,400 pesos.
06:23 So they are increasing so fast.
06:27 We are still talking to them.
06:29 We are asking our passengers to listen to us.
06:32 This is not just to ask for our money.
06:37 Alright. Thank you very much for the information you gave us.
06:41 We can hear you. Thank you very much for the information you gave us.
06:45 Good morning, Sir Zal T. Pingay, National President of Stop and Go Transport Coalition.
06:50 Sir, thank you.
06:53 At this point, we will talk to the Technical Division Head of LTFRB, Sir Joel Bolano.
07:01 Good morning to you, Sir Joel. This is Maris.
07:04 We are live on the first news.
07:06 Good morning, Ms. Maris.
07:08 And to all the listeners and viewers of the TV.
07:12 Alright. First of all, I would like to ask for your reaction to what Stop and Go Transport Coalition said.
07:22 Even if there is a transport subsidy, it will not be enough because it will be given once a year,
07:32 6,500 or 10,000 plus for PUV drivers like chicknee drivers.
07:38 But the increase in the price of crude oil is continuous. What can you say about this?
07:44 Yes, Ms. Maris. That is right. That is why we are increasing our fuel subsidy.
07:51 It will help and at least reduce their daily needs for their PUVs.
07:59 It is true that this is not enough but our government is continuing to look for ways to help our PUVs.
08:17 Sir, as we have said in our discussion with Stop and Go Transport Coalition,
08:21 they do not need to write a verified petition.
08:24 First of all, they only need to write a petition.
08:29 Second, there is a circulating memorandum, Circular 2019-035,
08:35 which states that the price of crude oil should increase automatically
08:44 and they do not need to write a petition.
08:47 Can they give the 2 pesos increase in the price of crude oil?
08:53 Regarding their request for a letter,
08:58 as I have mentioned last time, the board will still deliberate.
09:04 In fact, they have initial deliberations on Wednesday.
09:10 Regarding the implementation of the MC, which they say is automatic,
09:14 it is included in the discussion of the court's resolution on the content of the MC and their request.
09:24 Ms. Maris and our chairman have also mentioned that the 2 pesos is too high.
09:31 We are balancing the increase in the price of crude oil, not only for our public vehicles,
09:40 but also for our needs and other factors to increase their production.
09:50 The possibility is not lost.
09:53 We will wait for the board's decision after the deliberation.
09:58 Thank you.
09:59 Lastly, when will the fuel subsidy be distributed and who will receive it?
10:08 How will it be distributed?
10:10 The target of the fuel subsidy of the MC, of the party of the DOD,
10:16 is to be distributed before the end of August.
10:22 I hope there will be a download of the money from the DBM so that it can be implemented by the LR4B and DOCR.
10:33 (inaudible)
11:02 Some will be e-wallet, some will be bank accounts.
11:07 If they are ready, this will be their benefit.
11:13 Others can be over-the-counter.
11:15 Those who are authorized land-tank, this is close to their land.
11:19 All right. Thank you very much for the information you gave us.
11:26 Good morning to you Mr. Joel Bolano, the technical division head of LTFRB.
11:31 Be careful.
11:32 Thank you Ms. Marino.
11:33 The LGO assured that it will provide benefits to the students in Enlisted Men's Barrios or EMBO areas that used to be part of Makati City.
11:44 At the kickoff of the school brigade in Makati Science High School, Mayor Lanny Cayetano said that some benefits are temporary
11:53 because of the transition from the administration to the schools.
11:58 LGO helped Makati City to make the transition better.
12:02 Makati Science High School is one of the public schools in Makati City that will be transferred to the Pateros Schools Division,
12:10 as per the order of the Supreme Court.
12:13 According to Makati City Administrator Claro Certeza,
12:17 the Mayor of Abibinay, who is the son of Makati City, denied the free use of schools in EMBO areas.
12:27 We visited several markets.
12:29 We hosted Speaker Martin Romualdez and Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tulfo
12:33 to inspect the price of rice and other products.
12:36 Before we continue, we have Congressman Erwin Tulfo. Cong, good morning.
12:41 Good morning sir Ivan.
12:44 Sir, the speaker said that you and your colleagues visited the market yesterday.
12:49 It's possible that there's hoarding of rice. Do you share the observation sir? What is the basis of this observation?
12:55 Yes. Sir Ivan has information and assets. That's where the information is coming in.
13:04 He's sharing this information with the committee on agriculture headed by Congressman Enverga.
13:10 He's continuously looking at this. That's why he visited yesterday to find out the real situation on the ground.
13:17 What is your observation based on your visit yesterday?
13:22 The price of rice is high. It's not just rice. Our target is onions because it should be SRP.
13:31 Not SRP, but according to our computations in Congress, it should be P120 per kilo in the market.
13:39 Okay. Based on your study, P120 per kilo of onions should be P120 per kilo in the market.
13:50 Unfortunately. But in the Commonwealth market, it's low. It's close to what we're saying.
13:58 In the Commonwealth market, there are sellers selling P125 per kilo of red onions.
14:05 How much should be the price of rice versus the actual price in the market? What is the discrepancy?
14:13 The Speaker saw something and he's happy because there are still 47, 48 in the Commonwealth market.
14:20 But the game now is 55, 56 per kilo.
14:26 What's surprising in the Commonwealth market is that we have a comparison between QMART and the Commonwealth.
14:33 In the Commonwealth, it's low because we're seeing 47, 48 in QMART, and only 52, 55.
14:42 What's surprising is that the local, the local traders are saying that it's cheaper, only P40.
14:51 The imported is a bit expensive.
14:54 Some groups are pushing for price control and price ceiling because rice is too expensive.
15:01 Do you think this will be a big issue?
15:06 It depends sir. You need to study it because our farmers might be riding the price because they're buying from them.
15:15 It's too low. You need to study it.
15:18 That's why the hearing of the Committee on Agriculture of the Congress is ongoing to hear both sides, the farmers,
15:26 our consumers and our traders and importers, so that it will be balanced.
15:32 It might not be okay for the consumers, but for our farmers, they will be affected.
15:39 How? It should be a win-win solution for everybody.
15:44 What are the alternatives we can see in the CONG?
15:48 The bottom line is that our consumers want a reasonable price, especially rice.
15:55 It's too expensive for our countrymen.
15:57 What can we do to stabilize the price of rice?
16:02 It's a world crisis actually sir Ivan.
16:07 We're not the only ones. Some Asian countries, Southeast Asian countries, exported rice.
16:15 Speaker Romualdez, I talked to him. He's from Vietnam.
16:19 Vietnam is helping next year in the Philippines to export rice.
16:24 I think we can't afford to supply the entire country with rice.
16:33 We need to import rice because it's hard to accept, but our agricultural lands are shrinking.
16:41 But the President said the only way to do this is to lower the production cost of our farmers,
16:48 subsidize fertilizers, like what President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. did in 1999.
17:00 The President wants to adopt that.
17:02 We agreed with Speaker Romualdez that our farmers need subsidies.
17:10 One last point. You mentioned onions earlier.
17:12 Have you seen that the price is rising or the price is not right?
17:17 The price of onions is high. That's why the warming of the market is still there.
17:22 There are still stocks in their containers, in their warehouses, in their cold storage.
17:29 It's already out. If not, if they will continue to hide it,
17:34 the farmers and onion growers will lose their products, not to mention the traders.
17:40 What will happen is, the President will say, the D.A. and the BPI will give a lot of importation of onion permits
17:49 so that the price of onions will rise in the country.
17:52 If it rises, the price will go down.
17:54 The traders are pitiful because they are hiding their onions.
18:00 But if they do it again, we will close it again so that our farmers can sell their products.
18:09 Fair warning to hoarders because hoarding is a crime.
18:14 Exactly sir. Even with rice, the instruction is the same.
18:19 What Speaker said is, if you are hoarding rice that is hiding, you should sell it.
18:24 If we are hoarding, you will be charged. They need to sell it so that the price of rice will go down.
18:33 Thank you very much for the update.
18:36 Thank you for the opportunity.
18:38 We will talk to House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tulfo.
18:41 We also have a vote from the local municipalities in Metro Manila that are implementing a single ticketing system.
18:47 For the details, we have live news.
18:49 James Agustin. James.
18:54 Van, good morning.
18:58 Since today, the drivers license of motorists who have violated the traffic law here in Navotas
19:05 is not being fulfilled because the single ticketing system is being implemented here in Lungsod.
19:09 Van, the motorists I talked to are favoring this system.
19:13 But their appeal is that the fine should not be too high for their violation.
19:18 For more than five decades, taxi drivers like Edison have been charged with violating the traffic law that he has done.
19:29 Usually, it is difficult to get a license. That is why he is favoring the single ticketing system.
19:35 Like the senior citizens, it is difficult for us to get a license.
19:40 If the single citizen is right, we can get a license online.
19:46 This is also the opinion of the jeepney driver, Adriano.
19:49 It is better if the driver's license is not being fulfilled.
19:53 It is better for us because we can still save money and drive for a few more days before we get a license.
20:05 It means we can save money for a few days before we get a license.
20:09 Edgar is a motorcycle rider. Sometimes, we don't see him when we are caught.
20:14 It is difficult to get a license. But now, it is okay because you don't have to get a license.
20:21 You can pay for a ticket online as a municipality.
20:25 Since today, the single ticketing system in Navotas is being implemented.
20:30 The driver's license that violated the traffic law will not be fulfilled.
20:35 The fine can be paid online.
20:37 The fines for the usual traffic violations in Metro Manila are the same.
20:42 However, some motorists have now been advised not to raise the fine too much.
20:48 Just reduce it a little. Don't raise it too much.
20:51 We are also a single citizen. If we don't pay, we won't earn anything.
20:56 And the fine is too high.
20:58 It hurts us.
21:00 I hope they know how much the driver earns.
21:05 The fine should be based on the driver's earnings.
21:10 If the fine is too high, where will we get our income?
21:14 But for Edgar, the fine should be just right so that more motorists will follow.
21:19 There are many motorists who are fighting.
21:21 Like that one, he is not stopping.
21:23 They are still continuing.
21:25 That's my favorite.
21:28 So that the motorists will be disciplined.
21:35 While the system will be issued by OVR, the last motorist who violated the traffic law will be fined.
21:45 It will be paid in the city hall or online.
21:49 According to MMDA, their target is to implement the single ticketing system in all cities in Metro Manila next month.
21:58 That's all for now.
21:59 From Navotas, I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
