Transcript

00:00 Live from the GeoMayor Network Center, this is "24 Horas."

00:06 Good evening, Zon Visayas and Mindanao.

00:12 Some retailers have sold their rice in the first day of the implementation of the President's order, which has a limited price.

00:23 The farmers are also afraid that they will be the most affected by the order. I ask why no one is being punished for manipulating the price.

00:30 In a market, the rice that entered the price cap was sold out early, even if it was yellow and broken.

00:37 Joseph Morong and Maki Pulido were the ones who pointed it out.

00:40 So, for the poor, Jack would not sell rice today.

00:49 The receiver of the rice he bought last night has a copy of the supply.

00:53 A container with 50 kilos costs 2,210 pesos.

00:56 He should sell it for 49 to 50 pesos per kilo so that the cost and payment of the rice would be reimbursed.

01:03 But as a follow-up to the price cap that was started to be implemented today, he reduced the price of the rice to 45 pesos.

01:11 He sold it for 41 pesos, which should have been 48 pesos.

01:16 For the DTL and DTI, we need to display 41 and 45. If we don't display, we can be closed.

01:22 This is also what some rice retailers in Mega Q Mart in Quezon City were concerned about.

01:26 That's why before the interagency inspection this morning, they were forced to sell their rice.

01:32 The rice was closed. The management sacrificed to sell here so that people can buy.

01:42 The rice was picked by Mami Mili and within four hours, it was sold out.

01:46 They sold it for 45 pesos. It's okay but it's still expensive, just like tomatoes.

01:53 The 41 pesos of regular milk is yellow or crushed.

01:58 But even if it's crushed, it's already a compensation for Mami Mili.

02:02 To be able to survive for a few days in the budget until the next cutoff of the salary in September 15.

02:08 What the rice retailer, Jack, cannot say until when they can afford to sell the rice.

02:14 We are already closed. We are still low-bidding. We are just tired.

02:18 According to DOJ, there are complaints that the unpaid price ceiling could face.

02:24 The heaviest of all is economic sabotage, which is non-bailable.

02:27 Profiteering and other crimes that are against commercial interests of the people.

02:34 The government is now blaming the cartel for manipulating the price of rice.

02:38 The only way to find out, said the Philippine farmer, came out in the hearing of the 18th Congress.

02:44 We were wondering why until now, there is no punishment.

02:48 Let's just look at the results of the investigations.

02:51 On the second, DTI has already hired retailers to abuse the rice price ceiling of 41 pesos to 45 pesos.

03:01 But some are still selling well-milled rice that is higher in price ceiling than 55 pesos.

03:06 The demand of the sellers is that they should be allowed to finish their stock that they bought at a higher price than before.

03:14 Premium rice like the one sold in this store is not worth the price ceiling.

03:19 Actually, it's a special rice. It's not affected.

03:23 Here in Palawan, an island province, most of the rice here is imported from other provinces.

03:30 But there are rice fields like here in Nara where rice is almost harvested.

03:36 But to lower the price of rice, according to farmers, they will be affected.

03:42 Guillermo Pacquin Valencia is worried that the price of rice from his 5 hectare rice field will be reduced.

03:50 For now, they are giving 22 to 24 pesos per kilo to the traders.

03:57 They are giving 18 pesos per kilo to the traders.

04:00 Of course, we cannot do anything. We don't think that we will not sell the rice.

04:04 We cannot pay the debt. Farmers are the ones who will sacrifice.

04:09 They hope that even if the price of rice is 20 pesos, the farmers will still have a fight.

04:14 In Aurora, the traders will not give 5 rays of their rice because they are only giving 15 to 17 pesos per kilo.

04:23 I will tell the people that I will sell the rice. I am a helper.

04:27 In Isabela, rice is being harvested. They are also worried about the effect of price ceiling on the price.

04:33 For now, the price of rice is 23 pesos per kilo.

04:36 We are not giving up. We are not giving up.

04:42 We are not giving up. We are not giving up.

04:49 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong.

04:52 Mackie Pulido is on strike for 24 hours.

04:55 The government is now helping the retailers to pay their debts.

05:02 But the price is only 15,000 pesos.

05:05 What about the farmers? Ian Cruz and Oscar Oida are on strike.

05:11 If it is possible, Wilson Santiago will not sell well-milled rice.

05:20 They say it is a waste of time and effort because they lose 200 pesos per basket

05:24 if they sell rice from their supplier to the government's price cap.

05:30 We have no income here. We are still in debt if we will finish it.

05:33 But of course, they fulfilled their duty. We have to follow their orders.

05:36 The rice sellers in the labor market said that there is no regular milled rice and that well-milled rice is available for two weeks.

05:45 This is the well-milled rice that we bought yesterday. It is now being sold for 45 pesos per kilo.

05:50 But it is a waste because it is almost yellow and there are crushed grains.

05:56 And if you smell it, it is like an old appliance.

06:00 Before the country left for Indonesia yesterday, the President announced the Rice Price Ceiling.

06:06 But he also ordered the small retailers to be given assistance

06:12 from the DSWD's 5.5 billion pesos Sustainable Livelihood Program.

06:17 But only up to 15,000 can be given to the retailers.

06:22 We are just waiting for the list from DTI and the Department of Agriculture.

06:28 But farmers are also affected by the Rice Price Ceiling according to the Federation of Free Farmers Cooperatives.

06:36 The Farmgate Price of rice dropped to three pesos following the price ceiling in rice.

06:43 The fault of the court and the price manipulators is that the farmer will be the one to pay the problem in the form of low rice prices.

06:54 The government said that they will also be concerned about the rice price ceiling.

07:01 The most important thing is the logistics and marketing.

07:06 We also have Kadiwa Centers to serve the market.

07:10 We can also directly connect with the retailers.

07:15 Before the price ceiling was dropped, there was a first step against the smuggled rice.

07:22 Like the seven warehouses in Bulacan that were raided long ago.

07:28 It's still closed but the owners are not considered guilty according to the customs.

07:33 They were given a time to submit a proof that the smuggled rice was not smuggled and five out of seven were submitted.

07:40 If we validate that it's legal and complete, we will open all the warehouses.

07:46 If it can be proven that it's illegal to import rice to the country.

07:52 The government can forfeit the rice in favor of the government.

07:58 If it can be submitted or donated to the government.

08:03 In the long run, the rice will be benefited.

08:06 The price will be lowered and if the smugglers pay the right amount, the government will use more time.

08:14 For GMI Integrated News, Oscar Oida and Ian Cruz, we have the latest news for 24 hours.

08:21 [News]

08:22 The cyclist and the former police officer who was injured and married to her faced the Senate.

08:33 Until a while ago, their stories have a different version and Mav Gonzalez was arrested.

08:43 He apologized but the story of the dismissed police officer Wilfredo Gonzalez and the cyclist Alan Bandiola is different.

08:51 In the Senate hearing, which was the first time the cyclist faced the public, he told what happened before the video was taken.

08:59 Gonzalez's car suddenly entered the bike lane.

09:03 He was angry so he pushed it three times.

09:06 He saw that Gonzalez was angry so he left immediately so that the mess wouldn't grow.

09:12 Gonzalez chased him and chased him until he was able to get out of the car.

09:16 I was able to get out of the car because I was already in the middle of the road.

09:22 What happened was, Mr. Gonzalez came out.

09:27 He suddenly hit me and I was wearing a helmet.

09:32 It's normal for anyone to hit us. We will react.

09:37 That's when he shot me.

09:41 Gonzalez said that Bandiola was the one who was angry when they first hit each other.

09:46 He called me a P.I.

09:49 He said, "P.I. you're stupid. You're a cop. If you don't stop, I won't hit you."

09:57 When I returned to him, while I was standing, he punched the roof of my car.

10:07 I can forgive him for the initial hit on the bumper, Your Honor.

10:12 But when he punched me in the front, I felt like I was thinking of doing a second touch.

10:19 Bandiola was wearing gloves with hard knuckles.

10:23 That's why his car's roof was damaged and his head was also heated.

10:27 But Bandiola said that he didn't insult Gonzalez. He also said that he wasn't wearing gloves.

10:33 Maybe someone hit Gonzalez's car. Maybe it wasn't me. Maybe he saw me that time.

10:40 That's why he confronted me.

10:43 Senator JV Ejercito also showed a picture where he can see that Bandiola is not wearing gloves.

10:49 The UP is also on the left side of the car.

10:52 That's what Bandiola said. He pointed the car to his right because he's in the bike lane.

10:56 It's very clear here. He's not wearing gloves.

11:02 I'm also a biker.

11:04 If you're wearing gloves with hard knuckles, and you're a cyclist, you look like an idiot.

11:10 Your Honor, I'm not lying.

11:14 I saw people there.

11:18 Maybe before I could reach them, they already removed it because my car is really UP.

11:26 It's not a UP, it's just a barehands.

11:31 That day, the two of them were also in the precinct.

11:34 Nobody influenced you?

11:36 No, Your Honor. I was just trying to make him calm down because I don't want to make a scene.

11:41 Senators also asked the police if they really forced Gonzalez to be investigated.

11:46 Did you really force Mr. Willie Gonzalez because he's a former police officer?

11:54 No, sir. Because I really don't have any reason to do so because I don't know him.

12:00 The gun was already confiscated and the driver's license of Gonzalez was suspended.

12:03 According to the military, there were previous complaints in the barangay,

12:07 such as grave threat, robbery, perjury, and frustrated homicide.

12:11 If this is an anger management issue, he should not be given a license for guns.

12:16 I asked for forgiveness for my actions, for my actions, and for my actions.

12:22 I asked for forgiveness for everything.

12:26 Not only for him, but for all of you. It's my fault that I was suddenly arrested.

12:32 I thought of defending myself.

12:35 I also asked for forgiveness for the damage to my car. That's why we fought.

12:41 It's okay with me. I'm not denying it.

12:45 We don't have Mr. Bandiola anymore. We separated properly.

12:51 The Senate is now studying the bill that was passed against road rage.

12:55 The punishment will be heavier than other driving-related violations.

12:59 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez, for 24 Hours.

13:04 Even the 18-year-old son of his former boss,

13:09 was also hanged by his neighbor, LV Vergara, who also ran away from him.

13:14 He was charged with defying the Senate.

13:19 Here's what's happening.

13:21 In the second hearing of the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights,

13:28 in front of the house of LV Vergara,

13:31 he was facing his former employers who repeatedly harassed him for several years

13:38 so that he would be able to escape.

13:41 They hit me on the head with a stick in the bathroom.

13:48 I bled when they hit me in the bathroom.

13:53 You were caught in the hair?

13:55 Yes.

13:57 How many people were hitting you?

13:58 Just one woman.

14:00 Her two children were hit by a hammer and a stick.

14:09 But in front of LV Vergara,

14:11 the husband of France and Pablo Ruiz, who were also in the house of LV Vergara,

14:16 they defended him.

14:18 They made him a victim of human and household violence.

14:21 They did not spare Vergara's wounds.

14:23 Did you hurt him?

14:25 No.

14:27 Where did his wounds come from?

14:29 He was lazy to bathe.

14:31 Sometimes he would bathe for four or five days.

14:35 His wounds were so bad that he would vomit.

14:41 When LV Vergara was hit, he said, "I fought with GM.

14:46 I confronted them. Why did LV Vergara hit me?"

14:50 He said, "She used all my things.

14:53 When I got home, she made my clothes wet."

14:55 He said, "I did not only tell you that.

14:58 She also made me go to her room.

15:00 I even made her go to my room.

15:02 Why did I not know that?

15:04 What can you say about that, LV Vergara?"

15:06 "Sorry, GM," he said.

15:08 "I will never do that again."

15:10 "That is not true."

15:11 Did you hurt him?

15:13 No.

15:15 When?

15:16 Yes.

15:17 Sometimes he hit me on the back.

15:18 He hit you?

15:20 He hit me on the foot of the table.

15:24 Still on the table?

15:26 Yes.

15:28 Wood?

15:29 Plastic.

15:31 Vergara's past was shown in a video before he started working for the Ruiz family in 2017.

15:39 But he is now in a different state.

15:40 The former employer was surprised when he said that LV started working for them in 2019.

15:46 He said that he had a sign of eye complication.

15:49 Vergara's eye was still swollen.

15:51 The reason was that he had a rash.

15:53 That is why his left eye was completely swollen.

15:55 He also had to get a surgery on his right eye.

15:59 The invited medical experts showed LV's CT scan results.

16:04 This is the septum, the middle part of the nose.

16:08 You can see that it is swollen on the left.

16:12 Dislocated?

16:14 Yes.

16:16 You can see that there is a line here.

16:18 Normally, it is not there.

16:20 So it means that there was a fracture there.

16:22 It means that he was hit.

16:24 It could have been an accident.

16:26 But it is not necessarily self-inflicted.

16:29 He hit his head on the wall.

16:32 It could be that.

16:35 We have proven that you two are lying.

16:39 We will put you in jail.

16:41 This parallel investigation is now being held.

16:44 According to the Commission on Human Rights,

16:46 the Department of Labor and Employment said that there could be a labor violation

16:51 because of the various jobs that were done to Vergara

16:54 that were not his job but his housework.

16:57 If someone did a job to you that was not covered by the housework law,

17:03 you are an industrial worker.

17:05 So it should be clear because it is a minimum wage.

17:08 After the hearing, Elvie was taken to the Philippine General Hospital

17:13 where he will be tried for his right eye.

17:16 The Senate will answer Elvie's medical expenses.

17:21 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Cedric Castillo.

17:24 24 Hours.

17:26 It is still raining even though it didn't rain yesterday in some parts of Bulacan.

17:32 Even in Pampanga, the flood continues to reach the evacuation centers.

17:37 Marisol is live.

17:40 Marisol?

17:42 Mel, the flood that you can see behind us in Macabebe, Pampanga,

17:51 has been filling the residents for four days.

17:54 And you know, Mel, the flood is really a calamity for the residents here

17:59 because it was at the end of the rain that the high tide followed

18:02 and the flood was up to Bewang.

18:04 In Bulacan, even though it didn't rain yesterday, some places are still flooded.

18:09 It is hard to see and walk.

18:16 59-year-old Baby Silvestre is in the flood.

18:20 She has been swimming here for a few days to find a way to live.

18:24 We are selling our clothes.

18:26 Even though the water is high, we are still able to live.

18:30 It is really hard.

18:32 The flood in Macabebe, Pampanga, still continues to reach Bewang.

18:36 Because of the few days of rain that was accompanied by high tide.

18:40 Like before, the evacuation centers in the flooded areas are the schools.

18:46 The problem is that these are also submerged in the flood.

18:49 That's why the evacuees are in the upper floors of the schools.

18:53 At the evacuation center, I met Christina Carreon

18:56 who left with her 5 children and one grandchild.

18:59 We don't have income.

19:01 That's why we are having a hard time.

19:04 How do you depend on the ration and the food?

19:06 My brother just gives it to me.

19:08 I also managed to reach Grade 11, Riza Carreon,

19:12 through a module while there is no face-to-face class.

19:15 You went to the module this morning?

19:17 Yes. It is also hard because I was not at home.

19:22 I brought my stuff because I was afraid that it might get wet.

19:26 Shenn Andalio says that the class is online.

19:30 It is hard to attend online because you don't really feel the lessons

19:36 because it is different when you are face-to-face and you can hear the teacher.

19:40 But in some places, like in the town of Apalit, there are still students who are attending.

19:45 That is a problem, especially for the small children.

19:48 The water is too big.

19:51 Of course, they will carry it.

19:53 When it comes to the deep water, it is really hard.

19:57 In Bulacan, even if it didn't rain yesterday,

20:00 there are still floods in some places, like in Balagtas and Paombong.

20:05 Arvin Calawag went to his relatives in Paombong because their place in Mololos is flooded.

20:11 But the situation here is also flooded.

20:14 If you are going to get a house, raise it.

20:18 The price is not low anymore.

20:20 [Waves crashing]

20:24 Mel, here in our town of Caduan Tete in Macabebe,

20:28 90% of the residents here are drowning in the flood.

20:32 The town is afraid that if it continues to rain, the flood will increase.

20:36 That is why they are on alert 24 hours in case residents need to evacuate.

20:42 Thank you very much, Marisol Abduraman.

20:47 Inflation or the price of goods and services increased by 5.3% this August.

20:54 One of the biggest reasons for this is the high price of rice.

20:58 Bernadette Rey is on the news.

21:01 Did you feel the high price of rice, tomatoes, and tilapia this August?

21:10 That is just a few of the reasons for the rising prices of goods and services this August.

21:17 The inflation rate is 5.3%.

21:21 It cut the next slowdown in the price of goods and services from January to July.

21:27 Rice is one of the biggest reasons for the rising price of goods this August.

21:32 It rose by 8.7%.

21:37 That is the fastest rising price since November 2018 when they had a crisis in rice.

21:43 The most affected is the poorest.

21:46 It's bottom 30%. So the impact is bigger on them.

21:51 That is why Eva's family is reducing rice.

21:54 We used to sell rice for 1 kilo, now it's only half a kilo.

21:59 But not only houses are affected, but also businesses.

22:04 One of the biggest reasons for the rising inflation rate this August

22:08 is the rising prices of some basic goods like fish, vegetables, rice, water, and LPG.

22:16 That is why the prices of food in the stores are rising.

22:20 Before, rice was 10 pesos, now it's 12.

22:24 Now, the price caps are being implemented on rice.

22:27 Will the inflation rate slow down in the next months?

22:32 There will be adjustments, but of course, we will be computing it year on year.

22:36 Last year, the price of rice was not that high.

22:40 Aside from rice, the price of oil products used in the delivery of products should also be monitored.

22:48 Even if the average inflation rate is 6.6% from January,

22:53 the target remains 2 to 4% at the end of the year.

22:58 This means that the price of goods should slow down this Bermond's

23:02 if the demand for goods is still increasing, that's why it's rising.

23:07 In order to counter the price of goods worldwide,

23:10 the implementation of the temporary lowering of prices

23:14 according to the National Economic and Development Authority, or NEDA,

23:18 said the Central Bank of the Philippines.

23:20 The price of goods is expected to continue

23:24 due to the effects of the supply problem and the price of oil worldwide.

23:28 But the inflation rate in the target will also slow down in the last three months of the year.

23:32 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatutok 24 Horas.

23:37 In response to climate change and human trafficking,

23:42 some of the presidents of the ASEAN Summit in Indonesia are giving a fair talk.

23:47 From there, live, Ivan Reina.

23:50 Emil, at the start of the 43rd ASEAN Summit here in Indonesia,

23:58 the President Bongbong Marcos will be giving a speech on helping the economy,

24:02 climate change, food security, and giving opportunities to more people

24:07 to our neighbors in ASEAN.

24:11 [Music]

24:15 Along with President Bongbong Marcos,

24:18 First Lady Liza Marcos will be arriving at the Jakarta Convention Center

24:21 for the formal opening of the 43rd ASEAN Summit.

24:24 In her speech, the President emphasized the importance of strengthening the economy of the ASEAN region

24:29 and the opening and establishment of a balance between the countries in ASEAN and its trading partners.

24:36 This is where the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership or RCEP, which was recently introduced by the Philippines, is located.

24:41 We remain optimistic that RCEP will not only widen our options to increase production

24:48 and ultimately strengthen supply chain resiliency,

24:51 but also provide a new space for our economies to participate in the global value chain.

24:58 It is also important for ASEAN to help take care of migrant workers and to address human trafficking.

25:05 The Philippines will continue to call for more concerted efforts in intensifying regional and international cooperation,

25:14 especially in mobilizing resources to prevent and combat the abuse of technology in TIP.

25:22 Talking about climate change and food security is also one of the things that the President emphasized

25:27 and also expressed his readiness for the chairmanship of ASEAN in 2026.

25:32 In his speech, Indonesian President Joko Widodo said that

25:36 in the midst of the issues facing the region, ASEAN's strength lies in the unity of its members.

25:42 Future challenges are becoming increasingly difficult and causing a struggle of influence between major powers.

25:49 Nevertheless, ASEAN has agreed to reject being a proxy for any power,

25:58 to work together with everyone for peace and prosperity.

26:05 Do not turn our ship, ASEAN, into an arena for rivalries that cause mutual destruction.

26:16 Meanwhile, the President's meeting is taking place with his fellow businessmen.

26:27 This is just the area behind me.

26:29 This is the area of airport projects and the possible settlement of these businessmen.

26:36 We are monitoring the situation of these people.

26:39 And live from Jakarta, Indonesia, for GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrina, 24 Hours.

26:45 Back to you, Emil.

26:47 Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina.

26:51 The Committee of the House immediately approved the more than P10 billion budget of the Office of the President for 2024.

26:59 On the other hand, the minority is asking for confidential and intelligence funds.

27:06 Sandra Aguinaldo was the one who pointed it out.

27:07 Like the budget of the Office of the Vice President,

27:14 the Committee on Appropriations also approved the P10.7 billion budget of the Office of the President.

27:22 No congressman was asked about the budget of the office of President Bongbong Marcos,

27:28 which includes P4.5 billion confidential and intelligence fund.

27:34 As part of a longstanding tradition and practice of the House of Representatives

27:40 and the Committee on the Appropriations to extend parliamentary courtesy of the Office of the President,

27:46 Mr. Chairman, may I move that we terminate the budget hearing of the Office of the President.

27:53 The minority immediately objected.

27:56 They were also convinced to allow their own opinion and question.

28:01 But they were surprised when Davao City Representative Isidro Ungab asked for the approval of the O.P.'s confidential and intelligence fund.

28:10 The objection has been withdrawn and therefore the motion to terminate the budget briefing of the Office of the President is hereby approved.

28:20 No Madam Chair, we are reloading the deliberations.

28:23 Again, we should give members the right and the time to pursue their objections.

28:29 Let us just have some order in the House, please.

28:33 So at the point that the objection was withdrawn, then automatically the motion to terminate the budget briefing was carried.

28:43 One of the opposition's priorities is the confidential and intelligence fund of the Office of the President.

28:49 The P4.5 billion confidential and intelligence funds are just a part of the P1 trillion fund that the President will control next year.

29:02 We are in agreement with the P4.5 billion for the Filipino people.

29:05 The Congress is doing a good job in the national budget because a part of the budget is from the budget that the people are paying.

29:15 In this process, there are agencies that can be added or reduced in the budget.

29:21 The Commission on Human Rights also agreed and they agreed to ask for P1.9 billion in funds,

29:29 which is more than P976 million in the budget.

29:34 Some congressmen expressed their support for this addition.

29:38 We have the mandate to protect, prevent violations and promote human rights.

29:45 Among the most important mandate of the Commission is to investigate human rights violations.

29:55 Representative Edsel Agman asked what the CHR did to fulfill its commitment to the International Criminal Court or ICC

30:05 in connection with the bloody war on drugs of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

30:10 Have you communicated with the ICC or their prosecutors with respect to the data you have gathered in your investigation?

30:20 No Your Honor, not yet.

30:24 Have you communicated to the ICC your intent to cooperate with the investigation?

30:31 No Your Honor, not yet.

30:33 Have you communicated with the Department of Justice your intention to cooperate with the ICC with respect to this drug war?

30:41 No Your Honor.

30:44 In other words, your statement was a soundbite, a press release for media and you have not really communicated to the affected agencies.

30:54 Well, it's not a soundbite Your Honor. It was a response to a question provided or given by a media man.

31:03 The CHR chairman promised that it will be implemented in the ICC and other agencies in order to help.

31:12 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok 24 Horas.

31:17 My fellow countrymen, after the HANA typhoon, another typhoon is now raging in the Philippine area of responsibility.

31:35 That is the Ineng typhoon, the first typhoon that was formed in Par, this September.

31:41 The center of Tropical Depression Ineng was hit by a strong wind at a distance of 1,020 kilometers from the extreme northern Luzon.

31:48 It sustained the strength of the wind of 45 kilometers per hour and the gust of wind was up to 55 kilometers per hour.

31:55 It was moving to the northeast at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

32:00 According to the official, it is not expected to approach any part of our country and it is possible that it will come out of Par tomorrow.

32:08 But it is still possible that it will rise as a tropical storm and before it hits Japan.

32:13 There is no high wind signal but the trough of the Ineng typhoon will affect the country.

32:18 It will also strengthen the embankment that is being continuously pulled by the HANA typhoon that is now outside Par.

32:25 It will be dangerous and it is not safe to sail in large parts of Luzon and some villages of Visayas.

32:31 Let's look at the data of Metro Weather on how the weather will be tomorrow.

32:37 In Luzon, it will be almost afternoon rain in many places.

32:40 It is expected to be heavy rain in northern Luzon, central Luzon, Mindoro provinces and Palawan as well as in Bicol region.

32:48 So be alert to possible flash floods or landslides.

32:52 In Metro Manila, there is still a chance of rain tomorrow but compared to the past few days,

32:57 it is not wide and it will not be experienced all day long.

33:02 It will also be heavy rain for the residents of Visayas.

33:07 The red and orange colors that we see in Panay Island, Negros provinces and here in Samar and Leyte provinces

33:14 means that it is heavy to intense rains. So be careful.

33:19 In Mindanao, it will be rainy in many places especially in the afternoon.

33:24 It is expected to be heavy rain in Zamboanga Peninsula, Lanao del Sur, Bukidnon and Soksargen.

33:31 So be careful, my dear.

33:33 That is the latest in the weather.

33:35 I am Maureen Shrivers for GMA Integrated News Weather Center.

33:38 We are your hosts, whatever the weather.

33:41 It's Showtime will appeal the 12-day airing suspension imposed by MTRCB.

33:51 MTRCB Chairperson Lala Soto answered the allegation that they are heating the noontime show.

33:58 He also insisted on hearing the issue.

34:01 That is Nelson Canlas' report.

34:03 Following the decision to cancel the noontime show, which was aired yesterday.

34:12 We accepted the ruling of MTRCB.

34:16 We will now take a motion for reconsideration

34:19 because we believe that there is no violation of any law.

34:25 The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board or MTRCB clarified that the suspension is not final.

34:33 MTRCB Chairperson Lala Soto said that it was given 15 days for its showtime to take a motion for reconsideration.

34:43 With others, it can be suspended earlier.

34:47 But no, again, in the spirit of fairness, we are giving them the chance.

34:53 That's why they are not suspended today.

34:55 We will wait for its finality.

34:57 Soto is the son of former Senate President Tito Soto, who also has a noontime show in another station.

35:04 What he said in one comment is that you are heating up the showtime. Is this true?

35:10 No, that is not true.

35:13 Maybe it's natural for supporters to be so random because they are hearing that it's always reported.

35:22 But it's not the fault of MTRCB, the violations that they are committing.

35:28 In addition, the case of its showtime was initiated by the MTRCB Board.

35:34 In an expression of MTRCB, it said that Soto was inhibiting the showtime.

35:41 For GMA Integrated News, Nelson Canlas, Tutok, 24 Hours.

35:51 A Senator was asked to submit a smiling matching to an online application to register a SIM.

36:00 The NBI itself tried to submit it and all the telcos were asked to submit their defense of Mark Salazar's statement.

36:10 Suddenly, the Senators, upon hearing the Committee on Public Services, were shown the NBI Cybercrime Division.

36:20 How easy it is to register a SIM card even if it's a smiling matching picture, which they used in an online application.

36:29 The NBI said they tried this on all the telcos and all of them were successful.

36:35 Just last night, we tried to register. We bought a SIM card from different telcos and we entered the face of an animal actually and different names.

36:46 The picture on the left, your honor, is a monkey.

36:50 It's a good thing that it's a smiling match. If not, they might not have given it to us.

36:54 The telcos said that many were prevented from implementing rules and regulations of the SIM Registration Act.

37:00 That's why it lost its name, just like the Data Privacy Law.

37:04 That's why they're asking for a small detail of the applicant and the punishment for breaching the law is low.

37:11 Maybe the pictures are leaking. Because one of the reasons why, before, when the bill was being deliberated on, we asked to have access to government ID issuers.

37:27 It's easier because there's biometrics. So that's the only thing that can stop it.

37:32 But the monkey is in the picture. We can't see it because it's directly in the system.

37:39 Smart had processes in place to verify submitted information and data.

37:43 Smart also employed an optical character recognition technology, not only to help Smart verify submitted information and data, but also to protect and secure its subscribers.

37:55 We implemented three features of the SRA. First is the ID OCR that basically replicates the data or information that you can see in the ID into the data field.

38:10 The second is the face liveliness where the SRA platform recognizes or finds traces of biometrics.

38:22 The third is the face matching where we've placed the IDs to the selfies.

38:27 With the cooperation of the NTC, ma'am, maybe we can amend the IRR.

38:34 Yes, ma'am. Specifically now since we are doing the post registration validation.

38:42 The committee is talking about the Sim Registration Act because fraudulent SIM cards were found in the circulation that is used in online scams,

38:52 which are being done by illegal POGO operations.

38:55 More than 80,000 SIM cards were found there.

38:58 But according to the NBI, 200 percent of reported cybercrimes were increased even though there's SIM registration.

39:06 It's also difficult to track because of the long connection to the telcos.

39:11 It's difficult to track them down. Actually, the processes in the telcos turned around the request.

39:18 Senators also believe that the syndicate of cybercriminals is in the POGO operations.

39:24 That's why they are now in the committee in the call for POGO to be terminated.

39:29 According to them, the impact of this on the economy is only 0.03 percent.

39:33 Of the 34,000 POGO employees, only 16,000 are Filipinos.

39:40 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, 24 Hours.

39:46 The pressure is on to meet the prime time princess, Barbie Forteza.

39:52 Her role in the TV adaptation of the movie, "Maging Sino Ka Man" is now confirmed.

39:56 I watched the movie not because I was pressured.

40:05 I wanted to watch it because I don't have time.

40:09 I can't do anything because there's no one who can match our mega star.

40:13 I'm the only one who's pressured on my part that they can't see Clyde.

40:19 Barbie answered to Tito Boy's question on Fast Talk with Boyabunda

40:24 on how he will give an attack to the TV remake of the hit 1991 film.

40:29 Barbie said that she's trying to make it clear that she can't see Clyde

40:33 and Maria Clara Tibara's new character, Monique.

40:37 Barbie is also very happy that the former mega star Sharon Coneta gave her life.

40:41 Her mom is also proud Sharonian.

40:44 And now, for the news this Tuesday, I'm Mel Tiangco.

40:51 I'm Becky Morales for a bigger mission.

40:54 For a wider service to the country, I'm Emil Sumangit.
