00:00 [Music]
00:09 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:13 Philhealth Online's services are being lost following the hacking of their system.
00:20 The group behind this is Medusa Ransomware,
00:23 which is asking for a big amount in exchange of not releasing information of Philhealth members.
00:29 Here's the first news of Katrina Sor.
00:31 [Sound of a train]
00:34 Since this Friday, Philhealth's system has been temporarily shut down.
00:39 According to them, there was a problem with the information security incident.
00:44 72 Philhealth stations were affected,
00:48 including the e-claims, membership portal, and their website.
00:54 We have stopped all our operations to make sure that the incident is not spread.
01:01 Right now, we are trying to configure all our systems.
01:06 We also have reported this to the ICT, to NPC, to the NDI for forensics.
01:14 Some services of Philhealth are also affected,
01:17 like the patients in the hospital.
01:20 Philhealth also told the hospital to make a temporary arrangement for the patients,
01:25 even though they are affected by the information of Philhealth members.
01:29 Philhealth said,
01:31 We don't have to worry and we have not compromised any personal information regarding this incident.
01:37 According to tech expert Art Samaniego,
01:39 there are 31 pages containing the information of Philhealth members
01:45 in Medusa blog, created by Medusa Ransomware Group.
01:49 Medusa released this to warn Philhealth.
01:52 It is stated in the blog that they will release more information of members
01:57 if Philhealth will not pay a ransom of 300,000 US dollars to Medusa Ransomware Group.
02:04 Philhealth was also given a 10-day suspension.
02:08 Medusa Ransomware Group is a new group.
02:11 We first saw their presence in 2019.
02:17 This group is very different because many big organizations are attacking them.
02:22 What they do is, when they enter the system of a company or a government, they encrypt it.
02:29 It means, according to Samaniego, the organization's data is locked and it is being attacked.
02:35 They will only give the decryption key if the company or government that they are victimizing will pay.
02:41 That's why they are called Ransomware Group.
02:45 The DICT released a memo to government agencies.
02:48 It recommends that the police should review the Bring Your Own Device to Work From Home setup of government employees.
02:55 This is the first news.
02:57 Katrina Son for JIMEI Integrated News.
03:00 Comalec is explaining that almost 2,000 candidates from Barangay SK Elections
03:05 joined the premature campaign led by Comalec spokesman John Rex Laudianco.
03:11 The campaign period is from October 19 to October 28.
03:14 But some of the candidates already submitted their campaign materials.
03:16 Some of them said that they are experiencing a campaign on social media.
03:20 On October 13, Barangay SK Elections was held.
03:23 There is a medal of the Philippines that is being held in the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.
03:35 Patrick King Perez won a bronze medal.
03:39 Yun Zhong Ma won a bronze medal in Taekwondo Men's Individual Poomsae Event.
03:44 Other Filipino athletes are preparing for their upcoming event.
03:50 In the opening ceremony this Saturday, the Philippine team wore the Barong Tagalog.
03:55 Singapore volter EJ Obiena and skateboarder Marjeline Didal served as flag bearers.
04:01 The Asian Games will last until October 8.
04:06 The Philippine Coast Guard has confirmed the Chinese Coast Guard will place floating barriers in Bajo de Macinloc or Scarborough Shoal.
04:12 We have first news from Mag Gonzales and Rafi Tima.
04:16 This is the nearest barrier to the entrance of Bajo de Macinloc or Scarborough Shoal
04:22 that according to the Philippine Coast Guard was blocked by the Chinese Coast Guard.
04:27 According to fishermen, this is not just a simple buoy but also a blockage underneath
04:33 so that the big boat or ship won't be able to pass through.
04:36 I placed the barrier near while the Chinese Coast Guard is watching from afar.
04:42 The buoy is very thick and there is a net underneath.
04:50 The heavy thing on the end of the buoy is chains and steel.
04:56 This is what is blocking the entrance of Bajo de Macinloc or Scarborough Shoal.
05:02 This is where the Filipinos used to pass when they fish in the Bajura.
05:06 It's okay if the tide is low, they can hide and anchor here in the Bajura.
05:11 But now, there is a misty gate here at the entrance.
05:16 With the GMI Integrated News, the BFR's BRP Datu Bangkao crew will go to Bajo de Macinloc.
05:22 The Chinese Coast Guard tried to block the entrance of the ship.
05:25 We are only 30 kilometers away, the CCG has already arrived and is already broadcasting.
05:30 Bajo de Macinloc has been a picture since the early days.
05:32 Your activity is seriously infringed upon the maritime rights of China.
05:41 You must stop your activity and leave this area immediately.
05:46 You do not interfere with our activities here inside the Philippine waters.
05:52 You are inside the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of the Philippines.
05:57 The BRP Datu Bangkaw also arrived and anchored 300 meters from Bajo de Macinloc.
06:02 This is the closest that a Philippine ship has arrived in Bajo de Macinloc from the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese Coast Guard.
06:09 In the three days that the ship was left, the BFR provided 60,000 liters of diesel to 54 motherboats or large fishing boats of the Filipinos.
06:19 This is the fourth such operation of the BFR here in Scarborough Shoal.
06:24 And this is the place where the most number of fishermen came to get free crude oil.
06:30 As long as there is a fund, the BFR will continue to provide aid.
06:34 The only difficulty that the Filipino fishermen here experienced, especially since they are here in Scarborough Shoal,
06:42 is that they cannot fish inside the bay.
06:47 According to the fishermen, they can fish freely outside the bay.
06:53 But they are still not allowed inside if there are many kinds of fish.
06:56 The fishermen are quickly chased and chased by the China Coast Guard.
07:02 The floating barriers laid by the China Coast Guard in the southeastern portion of Bajo de Macinloc or Scarborough Shoal, according to the Philippine Coast Guard, are illegal and dangerous for the Filipino fishermen.
07:14 It is a navigational hazard.
07:17 Buoys are basically used as an aid to navigation to support the mariners to identify dangerous areas.
07:28 But this time, they are using floating barriers to prohibit the Filipino fishermen from entering the shoal.
07:39 This is documented by the PCG and is recorded by the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea.
07:46 They are now ordering the DFA and DOJ to do legal and diplomatic action.
07:51 The PCG also has an underwater survey that was conducted to ensure that the control of Bajo de Macinloc is not lost in the Philippines.
07:58 Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri asked the PCG to immediately remove the illegal floating barriers.
08:04 This is the first time that the PCG has monitored the floating barriers of China.
08:09 The PCG is also monitoring other maritime features in our Exclusive Economic Zone to see the condition under the water.
08:16 The BRP Sindangan and BRP Cabra of the PCG will return to Puerto Princesa, Mularo Zul Reef and Escoda Shoal.
08:24 They will again record new videos that will be sent to the UP Marine Science Institute to find out the extent of the damage caused by the floating barriers.
08:33 In accordance with China's statement that the BRP Sierra Madre is polluting and that the Philippines is just being plagued by political drama,
08:40 We don't do drama. We produce factual events, truthful narratives. We don't make up stories.
08:50 This is the first news. Mav Gonzalez.
08:52 Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
08:57 The illegal and dangerous floating barriers placed by the China Coast Guard in the Escobar Shoal or Bajo de Masinloc in the West Philippine Sea are illegal and dangerous.
09:04 Let's talk to Commodore J. Tariella, PCG spokesperson on the West Philippine Sea. Good morning.
09:11 Good morning, sir. Good morning to all the viewers, sir.
09:16 The floating barrier that we witnessed earlier in Bajo de Masinloc, when was it placed by the China Coast Guard?
09:26 Well, according to the accounts of our fishermen who were interviewed while we were giving the relief,
09:35 it was placed by the China Coast Guard every time they monitor a large number of Filipino fishing vessels.
09:46 Every time they estimate that the number of Filipino fishing vessels in the vicinity of Bajo de Masinloc is increasing,
09:56 they place it immediately for them to be prevented from entering the lagoon inside Bajo de Masinloc.
10:02 But they used to fish there.
10:05 Well, actually, sir, the Filipinos used to fish here.
10:11 As you're aware, sir, after the 2012 standoff, the China Coast Guard left and took over Bajo de Masinloc.
10:21 But what's very important for us to highlight right now, sir, for the past so many years,
10:27 it has been very difficult for the Philippine government vessels to enter at least one or two nautical miles in the vicinity of Bajo de Masinloc.
10:37 But because of our transparency initiative, which we also mentioned in our press release,
10:43 the China Coast Guard is now allergic every time it sees a Philippine government vessel.
10:49 And seeing our embedded media friends and journalists here, it was very easy for the B4 vessel to enter again.
11:01 And then, as we said, we anchored as close as 300 meters here in Bajo de Masinloc.
11:08 So this is very important for us to highlight that this is actually the first time
11:13 that a Philippine government vessel has anchored at such a distance here in Bajo de Masinloc.
11:20 They say that the prohibition they put is dangerous.
11:26 How dangerous is it?
11:30 Well, the prohibition, sir, according to what Sir Rafi showed us,
11:35 Yes, we're showing it.
11:37 Aside from the thick mud, it has nets that are spread.
11:43 So the tendency for our Filipino fishermen is that they can eat from their propellers,
11:50 so their propellers are broken.
11:53 If their propellers are broken, it will be very difficult for them to come back to their province in Pangasinan or even in Zambales.
12:01 Commander Tariela, Senate President Juan Miguel Subira's PCG asked you to remove the floating barrier.
12:09 Well, thank you for asking this question, sir.
12:13 Many are asking on social media when we released the photos and we did the reporting about this,
12:20 why the coast guard or BFAR didn't remove it immediately or why it wasn't cut off immediately.
12:25 On the part of the Philippine coast guard, let me first clarify.
12:29 I think Filipino people should understand that there are some diplomatic issues that we need to do here.
12:39 We have yet to ask permission from the national government and of course from the commander-in-chief
12:47 on what will be the final action on the part of the Philippine coast guard.
12:51 Our last mission, we just documented that there is really an existing barrier that the Chinese government is putting.
12:58 But as I said, we gave the report already to the national task force, West Philippine Sea,
13:04 wherein the Department of Justice, the Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of National Defense,
13:08 are all part of this interagency task force and chaired by the national security advisor.
13:15 The NTFWPS would recommend to the president on what action we will take here.
13:22 The Philippine coast guard, BFAR, and even the armed forces of the Philippines
13:27 will comply on what decision will be made by our national government.
13:32 This is not a solo decision of the coast guard.
13:34 Yes, sir.
13:36 Have you monitored other areas where the Chinese are putting a barrier or floating barrier?
13:43 Well so far, sir, only Bajo de Masinloc is blocking so that the Filipinos cannot enter the lagoon,
13:51 where this is the traditional fishing ground of our Filipino fishermen.
13:59 I would like to highlight, sir Arnold,
14:02 because the columns of the newspaper were not mentioned in the last few hours.
14:11 In Bajo de Masinloc, this is actually considered as a rack,
14:15 meaning it generates a territorial sea of 12 nautical miles.
14:21 So in short, since Bajo de Masinloc is being flooded inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines,
14:28 which only has a distance of 120 nautical miles, and this is a rack.
14:34 We also have a territorial sea or sovereignty within the 12 nautical miles that Bajo de Masinloc is generating.
14:43 It's not just an exclusive economic zone, but we have a territorial sea over this.
14:48 Okay.
14:50 Aside from the barriers, we also saw dead corals in Sandy Cave 2.
14:57 Is that from Ruzul Ripo? We have evidence for that.
15:03 Well, first of all, sir, these corals, sir,
15:08 this report on Sandy Cave, sir, came from a social media account.
15:15 It is already trending on social networks.
15:19 But as far as the coast guard is concerned, as I said in my previous interviews, sir,
15:26 we are monitoring different maritime features in the West Philippine Sea.
15:32 It's not Ruzul Reef or Sabina.
15:35 We have monitored these, but we're only allowed to publicly disclose this in Ruzul Reef and Escoda Shoal.
15:46 So they don't have any solid evidence that the Chinese have invaded Bahura?
15:51 If we're talking about Ruzul Reef and Escoda Shoal,
15:59 I'll go back to our press statement, sir, that the destruction of corals here is circumstantial.
16:06 We can say that they are responsible because of the areas that were invaded by the Chinese maritime militia.
16:15 Okay.
16:17 They are the only ones present here.
16:20 Thank you very much, Commander Jake Tariel, a PCG spokesperson on the West Philippine Sea. Take care.
16:25 Thank you very much, sir.
16:28 First Secretary Enrique Manalo, the sovereign of the Philippines,
16:31 was honored for his efforts in the United Nations General Assembly in New York, in America.
16:36 Manalo said that the issues in the South China Sea territory have already been resolved by the 2016 Arbitral Award.
16:43 His gate must comply with international law to make the Indo-Pacific region peaceful and secure.
16:49 But China said that the decision is illegal and they do not accept it.
16:56 We advocate the peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with international law.
17:02 This has always been our position with respect to the disputes in the West Philippine Sea.
17:08 Inasmuch as we are prepared to defend our sovereignty, sovereign rights, and territorial integrity.
17:15 The tribunal's so-called ruling was illegal and now unvoid.
17:21 China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea will not be compromised by the said ruling under any circumstances.
17:30 And now, in the latest news on the system of PhilHealth, we will talk to Dr. Israel Francis Parga, Senior Vice President for Health Finance Policy Sector and PhilHealth Spokesperson.
17:44 Good morning, Doc.
17:46 Good morning, good morning to all of us.
17:50 Until now, the system of PhilHealth has been temporarily shut down. Can you tell us how wide the effect of this hacking is?
17:58 Yes, until now, we are still working on ways to up our system so that we can return to normal operation of our system.
18:12 Until now, in our initial assessment, we were able to find out that around 72 stations were affected, particularly here in the head office and in our NCR offices.
18:24 But none of them were affected in our regional offices.
18:28 Our website, our member portal, and our e-claims are all affected.
18:36 That's why, for now, we are doing our front-line transactions manually.
18:41 What is the effect of this? If it's manual, does it mean that it's slower, slower? What is the effect of this on our members?
18:50 Because it's manual, of course, it's slower.
18:55 Our members have given us instructions on how to continue to receive their benefits from the PhilHealth that they need.
19:06 For example, they need to bring a copy of their ID or their member data record to the hospital if they need to receive benefits.
19:16 Unlike before, in the system, it can be checked.
19:22 But since our system is docked, they need to bring these documents.
19:28 As long as it's important, PhilHealth members can continue to use their benefits, right?
19:35 Yes, that's right. For example, those who need to pay a premium contribution,
19:41 they need to go to the system for over-the-counter payment and they cannot use the system yet.
19:47 And we cannot say when we will return our system?
19:53 As soon as possible time, and this is what we are doing.
19:59 As of today, we will test our system and maybe within the day, we will have some systems that can be returned to their normal operation.
20:09 As of now, we know that the members' information may have been compromised.
20:14 Is the PhilHealth fund also affected by this hacking?
20:18 In our initial assessment, there was no leak with regard to personal information or medical information.
20:27 So there was no compromise.
20:29 But what about the PhilHealth fund?
20:32 There will be no problem. It was not affected and we will continue to use it for the benefit of our members.
20:40 The Medusa Ransomware Group, the group behind the hacking, gave a 10-day fine.
20:46 They were told to pay 300,000 US dollars so that they will not leak other information of PhilHealth members.
20:52 What is PhilHealth's position on this?
20:55 To be honest, we are not accepting any ransom demand.
21:01 We are not accepting any ransom demand amounting to 300,000.
21:08 Actually, we are still investigating with other government agencies as to what is the real reason behind this information security incident.
21:21 Where did the information that 300,000 US dollars is coming from come from?
21:25 Actually, we don't know. We just saw a news report.
21:30 But to be honest, nothing is happening and there is no demand for us to do that.
21:35 So there is no condition. It means that we are working to get our control back in the system.
21:41 But there is no communication coming from the hackers to PhilHealth?
21:45 There is none. And we are also included in this, as I mentioned.
21:50 And in investigating the DICT, the National Privacy Commission,
21:54 the forensic offices and cybercrime units of NDI and PNP are also included.
22:00 Thank you very much Dr. Israel Francis Vargas, the spokesperson of PhilHealth.
22:06 We will continue to keep you updated on this. Thank you sir.
22:09 Thank you. Thank you. Good morning everyone.
22:13 In the midst of the spread of the Nipah virus in India, an infectious diseases expert was asked to monitor the travelers from there so that the virus cannot enter our country.
22:22 That is the first news of Dano Tinkongco.
22:25 A brain tumor that is likely to kill.
22:32 That is one of the symptoms of the Nipah virus that has an outbreak in India where two have already recovered.
22:39 Three, including one child, are being continuously treated while more than 700 are being tested for the virus.
22:44 That is why the face of the infectious diseases expert, Dr. Ronjin Solante,
22:48 monitored the travelers from India so that the virus can enter the country.
22:54 This was first detected in Malaysia in 1998.
23:05 According to the report, the virus is transmitted to pigs and it is being prepared to be transmitted to humans.
23:10 It can also be transmitted to other animals such as horses.
23:20 In the case of a person who died from the Nipah virus in Sultan Kudrat in 2014, according to the DOH, he was exposed to horses and their meat.
23:29 In 2014, 17 suspected cases were reported in the Philippines.
23:33 Eight were recovered but only one was infected.
23:36 No medicine or vaccine has been given for the Nipah virus.
23:38 Aside from monitoring, the DOH also established a surveillance system and other infection prevention control measures.
23:45 This is the first news of Dano Tinkongco for GMA Integrated News.
23:49 The Department of Social Welfare and Development will start providing assistance to those affected by rice price ceiling.
23:58 This is the first news.
23:59 Dive by Niko Wahe.
24:01 Niko?
24:03 Good morning, Igan.
24:07 From today until September 29, the DSW will be distributing assistance to those affected by rice price ceiling.
24:15 In the past, it was the rice retailers that were a bit big.
24:19 Now, it will be distributed to the Sarisari store owners.
24:26 Before the rice price went up, the Sarisari store owner, Alice, was just waiting to see if she can make a profit from selling rice.
24:33 Back then, she said that it was hard for her to sell her rice.
24:36 Now, the price is higher.
24:38 She earned a small amount of money but she was forced to lower the price because of the price cap.
24:42 The rice price is too high.
24:44 We are having a hard time making a profit.
24:48 It's a bit hard now.
24:53 It's hard.
24:55 Ibrahim also felt the price of rice was too high even though the price went down.
24:59 He can't even sell a basket of rice in a day.
25:02 So, to make it less,
25:04 We just roasted it. We just made the batter.
25:07 So, it's easier to sell.
25:09 It's easier to sell.
25:11 That's why the government will provide a big help of P5,000 for the Sarisari store owners like them who were affected by the price cap of rice.
25:22 We are just helping the poor like us.
25:27 You will buy rice?
25:29 Yes, that's what will happen.
25:31 We are just helping them.
25:33 DSWD said that they will contact DTI to identify who will be the beneficiaries.
25:40 Until September 29, the government will provide a share of the aid to the Sarisari store owners who were affected by the price cap of rice.
25:47 Thank you.
25:48 Since the government provided the aid, DSWD has already distributed more than P92.4 million to the affected people.
26:01 6,161 from the target of P8,390 micro and small rice retailers were given.
26:11 If the rice price cap will be lifted, the DA will continue to monitor it.
26:17 The harvest season in Palay has already started.
26:20 Live from Manila, I'm Nico Juaje for GMA Integrated News.
26:25 The pilot run of the K-10 curriculum of the Department of Education has already started.
26:31 Let's look at the situation of one of the schools that will implement this.
26:38 Live from Malabon, our first reporter is James Agustin. James?
26:42 Susan, good morning.
26:47 This is Tinajeros National High School in Malabon, one of 35 schools in the country
26:51 where the pilot run of the K-10 curriculum of the Department of Education has already started.
26:58 Under the K-10 curriculum or the revised K-10 program,
27:03 the lessons will be taught in kindergarten to grade 10.
27:08 From 11,000 learning competencies, it has become only 3,000.
27:11 The implementation is by phase until 2028.
27:14 In the school year 2024 to 2025, it will be implemented in kindergarten, grade 1, 4, and 7.
27:21 Here in TNHS, all 19 sections of grade 7 are included in the pilot test.
27:27 681 students are included.
27:30 37 teachers have joined the training for a few months.
27:33 According to the principal, the time of students' admission will not change.
27:37 There are only adjustments, like in the values education,
27:40 which is longer than the time allocated now.
27:43 Learning competencies in science have also been added.
27:45 The LGU is ready to help the students and teachers in need,
27:50 especially those in the schools in NCR that have pilot tests in Malabon.
27:57 Learning competencies have been reduced.
28:00 The 11,000 learning competencies are now only 3,000.
28:04 And here in DepEd Matatag, there is a focus.
28:08 The focus here is really on the delivery of instruction.
28:11 Quality education is needed.
28:14 That is what everyone is looking for.
28:16 When our learning competencies are focused, as they say, it is congested.
28:22 So because it is congested, all the essential learning competencies are harvested.
28:28 They have technical needs, I will provide them to the local government.
28:34 And then, of course, with our school's division office,
28:39 they arranged this first day of launching our Matatag Curriculum.
28:49 Meanwhile, Susan, the class is ongoing, not only in grade 7,
28:52 but also in other grade levels here in TNHS.
28:56 And after a week of pilot tests of this Matatag Curriculum,
