00:09 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:13 [music]
00:17 The typhoon HANA has already left the country but it is still experiencing a bad time in some places,
00:22 in Northern and Central Luzon due to the storm.
00:25 For the update, we have live news. This is Claire Lacanilao of GMA Regional TV 1, North Central Luzon.
00:32 Claire, good morning to you.
00:34 Susan, eight barangays in the town of Calasio, Pangasinan, were hit by a typhoon
00:41 due to the rising water levels in Marusay River.
00:48 Residents of Barangay Laci, Mancuk, Longos, Nalsana, Banlag, Songkoy, Lumbang, and Talibao in Calasio, Pangasinan
00:57 are preparing for the possible rising of the water levels.
00:59 At present, the water levels in Marusay River are 8.9 feet above critical level.
01:05 We are monitoring the weather because the rain that our town is experiencing is still continuous.
01:13 At the same time, the upstream water level is still low in our river.
01:19 Farmers in the towns of Pangasinan are suffering from drought after their crops were submerged in the flood.
01:26 The crops that should be harvested are now rotting due to the several days of flooding.
01:31 It's a fruit because it's already submerged.
01:34 The crops will turn black when it's time to harvest because the water here is still dry.
01:45 According to the Municipal Agriculture Office, the flood affected hectares of rice fields in the barangays of Malabago, Anolid, Alitaya, Aman Sabina, and Bari.
01:56 The water levels in 12 barangays in Dagupan City are gradually rising due to the rain.
02:03 According to the CDRRMO, the residents are already alerted because the water levels are rising, especially those near the Pantal-Sinucalan River.
02:12 Our flooded areas are like here in Bakayaw area, Lasip area, Pugo, Maluwod, Karanglaan, and here in Herero Perez Mayombo.
02:21 The water level is going down to the Pantal. We are monitoring the area near the river, Poblacion West, and Kraal Kalmay.
02:30 The residents are being evacuated continuously by the preemptive evacuation of the authorities.
02:36 Meanwhile, bathing in Pangasinan is prohibited due to the high flood waves of the time.
02:44 The officials of the Bureau of Fire Protection in Binmaly Beach have also been monitored. Several beachgoers were evacuated.
02:51 Seven towns in Pangasinan experienced flooding based on the report of the Pangasinan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office or PDRRMO.
03:00 But it is said that this is an isolated case according to the official.
03:04 Actually, this is an isolated case. It is not a whole barangay but it is just a part or a site of a barangay.
03:10 It is difficult for motorists to pass through San Gabriel Macabebe, Pampanga because of the water that was collected from the drainage that was flooded by the rain.
03:19 Some houses in Caduang Tete barangay were flooded due to the constant rain.
03:25 The situation in Almacen Hermosa, Bataan barangay is also the same. The flood reached more than one and a half feet due to the constant rain.
03:34 The heavy rain that has part of the wind's flow is also experienced in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Bonsud, Habagat.
03:43 Susan, according to the Calasio Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office,
03:53 the critical level of Marusay River is at nine feet now and ten individuals were evacuated to the evacuation center.
04:04 Calasio MDRRMO alerted the residents who were evacuated to the floodplain.
04:11 Susan.
04:12 Thank you very much Claire Lacanilau.
04:15 The transportation office LTO said that after the backlog of vehicles and driver's license in the next year,
04:22 it will be charged for the destruction of the cameras in the P214 billion budget requested by the Department of Transportation for 2024.
04:31 We have first news, Oscar Oida.
04:33 For the development of new and former railways in the country to be fully operational and not to be disrupted,
04:43 the Transportation Department is asking for more than double the budget for the next year.
04:50 Most of the budget will go to railway projects, but those who will approve it for the cameras are left out.
04:58 What about the other expenses of the government?
05:01 The backlog of vehicles and driver's license is also included.
05:06 But for the plates, the delivery of plates to us is continuous and we do the production.
05:11 We have limited district offices and extension offices.
05:14 We're working with the manpower that we have in order to be able to distribute these plates at the quickest possible time.
05:22 They say the target is to reduce the backlog in the next year.
05:26 By the first quarter of the year, we would have already removed the backlog as far as four-wheeled vehicles are concerned.
05:32 For motorcycles, it's one year, seven months.
05:37 There was also a delay in issuing plastic driver's license due to the court's order.
05:43 If the TRO is lifted, in four months' time, we would have already erased the backlog.
05:49 A judge from Mindanao has raised the issue of the Lagindingan Airport fund.
05:55 Are we that lowly in Mindanao that we will not be given the opportunity same as we're given to the other airports in the islands or in the country Madam Chair?
06:06 Are we still going to be treated as second-class citizens?
06:10 We should be able to fast-track.
06:13 We do hope to finalize these negotiations and go back to NEDA for the final approval.
06:21 And we are hopeful that we can reach, before the end of the year, 60 days by which any party can match the...
06:31 We're poor Madam Chair.
06:33 We're just containers.
06:35 We have done this for other airports.
06:38 Our airport is just a container Madam Chair.
06:40 No Congressman Maimano.
06:41 Do you have a design?
06:42 It is under design by CAAP.
06:44 This is a promise.
06:46 For your budget Madam Chair, for their budget to be deferred. That's unfair.
06:51 This is the first news. Oscar Oida for the GIMI Integrated News.
07:01 The Pinoy pole vaulter EJ Obiena won a gold medal after the 2023 Staff Berlin Outdoor Pole Vault Tournament in Germany.
07:10 He cleared the 5.92 meter mark in his third attempt.
07:14 The silver medal was won by Norway's Sondre Gutormsen.
07:19 While the bronze medal was won by Chris Nelson of America.
07:22 Obiena is the first Pinoy athlete to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
07:27 Meanwhile, four gold medals were won by the Philippines from the Jiu Jitsu Beach World Cup held in Pattaya, Thailand.
07:35 These medals were won in different categories by Samantha de la Costa-Gonila, Joanne Pauline Tan, Luan Gutierrez and John Kenneth Menea.
07:45 In Marikina, some rice cup sellers did not follow the rules.
07:50 Their cheapest rice is P48 per kilo of Jolly Rice. P63 per kilo of Japanese Rice is their most expensive rice.
08:01 According to the price ceiling implemented by the government, P41 per kilo of regular milled rice and P45 per kilo of well-milled rice should be paid.
08:11 Following the implementation of the price ceiling, the government plans to give P2 billion assistance to rice retailers.
08:19 House Speaker Martin Rumualdez is in consultation with the Department of Budget and Management regarding the procurement of funds for this.
08:28 President Bongbong Marcos ordered the Department of Trade and Industry to oversee the distribution of financial aid.
08:35 According to the DTI, they are forming a special task force for this.
08:39 Next week, the distribution of financial aid will start with the help of DSWD.
08:45 The sales of rice sellers in Muñoz Market in Quezon City are also on the rise.
08:50 Here is the first news of Alan Gatos of Super Radio DCW. Alan.
08:56 Susan, even if some rice sellers in Muñoz Market in Quezon City do not want to sell their rice, they still need to open and sell their rice today.
09:06 Because they are paying for their rice in the market. According to Rene Ignacio, if he closes his rice market today, he will have a loss.
09:15 If he will sell his rice, they will have a loss for P41 per kilo of regular milled rice.
09:21 For P41 per kilo, their loss is P2.40 or P120 per 50 kilos of rice.
09:31 They are starting to sell P41 per kilo so that they will not lose their investment for the implementation of the price cap.
09:40 Meanwhile, rice sellers are discouraged. Some will be happy to buy because Abigail Elasco said that they can save a lot if they have P41 per kilo of rice.
09:52 Before, they used to buy P50 per kilo.
09:57 Thank you very much, Alan Gatos of Super Radio DCW.
10:02 Today, the 43rd ASEAN Summit will start, attended by President Bambang Marcos and other leaders.
10:10 Live from Indonesia, we have first news with Ivan Mayrina. Ivan.
10:16 Good morning. Good morning to all of you here in Jakarta, Indonesia.
10:23 This is the opening ceremony of the 43rd ASEAN Summit.
10:27 As you can see behind me, this is the entrance of the media center where the speakers from other countries will enter to offer important speeches.
10:40 Not only the leaders of the 10 ASEAN member states, but also the dialogue partners.
10:45 We are there, China, India, South Korea, Australia, America, and Canada.
10:50 In the next three days, President Bambang Marcos will lead 13 summits.
10:56 The first one will be held by ASEAN member states, ASEAN and their dialogue partners.
11:01 This is one of the most anticipated ASEAN-China Summit where issues in the South China Sea will be discussed.
11:07 It will also be discussed and not finished with the Code of Conduct for the region.
11:11 This summit will be held during the rising tensions between not only the Philippines and China, but also other countries like Indonesia and Vietnam, and even India because of China's 10-line map.
11:26 Aside from what the President said yesterday in his departure speech that he will lead a rules-based international order in the South China Sea,
11:33 the Department of Foreign Affairs said that the President expects to try to include the Philippines in the joint statement of ASEAN at the end of the summit on Thursday, regarding China's aggressive action in the region.
11:46 Aside from that, there are also important points like ASEAN-US, ASEAN-India, ASEAN-Indo-Pacific, ASEAN-East Asia, where the cooperation in the field of food security will be discussed, which is one of the important areas for many countries.
12:01 Climate change, digital economy, human trafficking, and the protection of the well-being of Filipinos abroad are some of the things that the President expects to focus on.
12:12 And that's what we will continue to monitor from Jakarta, Indonesia.
12:18 Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina.
12:21 We will now move to the Senate Committee on Finance's proposed 2024 budget of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education.
12:31 But before that, the Senate Minority Question asked if the OVP and the DepEd need confidential funds.
12:39 We have first news from Mob Gonzales.
12:46 According to the Senate Committee on Finance, the 2024 proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President was approved by Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel,
12:54 who transferred the Office of the President of P221.42 million pesos of its contingent fund to the office of Vice President Sara Duterte in December 2022.
13:06 This is questionable, said Pimentel, because it is not a line item or not listed in the 2022 national budget, which should be investigated, according to Senator Riza Hontiveros.
13:18 There was no line item for confidential funds or expenses for the OVP.
13:27 And yet you're telling us now that the OVP liquidated a certain amount as confidential funds for the year 2022.
13:37 We requested confidential funds to the Office of the President as early as August 2022, and we were only granted the confidential funds on December 2022.
13:52 We requested it from the Office of the President and it was granted through the Department of Budget and Management.
13:59 I think the Department of Budget and Management can better answer the question of the transfer of funds from their source to the Office of the Vice President.
14:12 Minority Senators also questioned the 500 million pesos of confidential funds requested by the 2.38 billion pesos budget of the OVP for 2024.
14:22 Hontiveros said that there are particulars that confidential funds can only be used, such as obtaining information related to national security,
14:31 the rental of transportation for confidential activities, and the disclosure of illegal activities.
14:38 According to Duterte, the OVP conducts surveillance when a report is received from the public.
14:45 As an example, we did surveillance of complaints from constituents in Bulacan with regard to the selling of OVP assistance and the selling of Tupad projects.
15:03 We were able to apprehend the person and we were able to successfully prosecute the case and that person went to jail for how many months?
15:16 For six months.
15:18 But Hontiveros asked, isn't the work of intel agencies like AFP and PNP just doubling?
15:25 Since last year, we left the intelligence to the experts, to the intelligence agencies of the government, in the same way that the civilian agencies of the government,
15:36 whether OVP itself or even DepEd, they shop their mandates and their expertise.
15:44 Whatever we gather from our confidential funds and surveillance, we share it with mainly the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police.
15:58 As well as they share as well intelligence information that they gather, which are not included in our database.
16:08 Lastly, VP Sara said that they are not forcing confidential funds.
16:14 But we leave it to the decision and discretion of the members of Congress who has the power of the purse to decide whether to grant confidential funds to our office.
16:28 We can only propose, but we are not insisting.
16:31 We can live without confidential funds. But of course, our work will be much easier if we have the flexibility of confidential funds.
16:41 Despite the questions of the opposition, the Senate Committee approved the budget of the Office of the Vice President,
16:47 including the request of confidential funds as a respect to the second highest official of the country.
16:54 In the discussion of the Department of Education, they also discussed the request of 150 million pesos of confidential funds.
17:02 Just like the OVP, can DepEd live without this budget?
17:05 Yes, Your Honor. But of course, this will make our jobs easier also in protecting our learners and teachers,
17:13 as well as our non-teaching personnel if we have those funds, Your Honor.
17:17 The threats nowadays, whether it be recruitment or drug-related activities, it's quite alarming in our schools.
17:23 DepEd's budget was also approved by the committee.
17:26 This is the first news. Mav Gonzales for GMAI Integrated News.
17:30 The MTRCB has been calling for 12 days of airing suspension of the noontime show, "It's Showtime."
17:36 This is a result of the complaints received by the agency regarding the July 25 episode
17:41 where it became indecent or malicious to disturb the hosts of the segment "Isip Bata."
17:47 According to the MTRCB, the agency followed their process.
17:51 The case was referred to the hearing and adjudication committee of the agency.
17:57 They asked for a position paper from the respondents.
18:00 It's Showtime has 15 days to file a motion for reconsideration.
18:05 If it is not approved by the MTRCB, the noontime show can still be aired in the office of the president.
18:11 In addition to the MTRCB, they have received many complaints about It's Showtime this year that they need to take action.
18:19 The program of two warnings has been issued.
18:23 ABS-CBN confirmed that they have accepted the ruling of the MTRCB.
18:28 They will file a motion for reconsideration.
18:32 They believe that they have no right to rule on It's Showtime.
18:36 ABS-CBN will also consult with the MTRCB so that their program can continue to bring joy to the viewers.
18:47 Igan, you're first in the news.
