00:28 where hospitals are being denied permission and are being spent.

00:32 That is what I witnessed.

00:33 Students are dancing while running around class yesterday.

00:42 It was hot and there was no ventilation because there is no power.

00:46 This was avoided by 284 students who were suspended from classes in Iloilo City and the provinces of Iloilo, Aklan and Capiz.

00:55 Teachers were forced to do make-up classes when students returned from school.

01:01 In Iloilo City, it was not hot anymore so the seniors were allowed to go out of their houses.

01:07 We are old people, we are just kids.

01:11 Of course, we are not hot.

01:13 If you don't have a blanket, you can't go out.

01:16 Due to the wide power outage, businesses in the city are losing up to half a million pesos every day.

01:23 Hospitals are also spending more because of the need for a generator.

01:30 Moreover, the management of a hospital in Pavia is being more dependent on the possibility of the hospital equipment being damaged.

01:36 We have patients who need to be secured.

01:41 Our generator consumption is all the way down.

01:46 We will pay almost 40,000 pesos in two days.

01:51 The Rojas Memorial Provincial Hospital in Capiz was not affected when the electricity supply was restored.

01:57 The same is true for the barangays in Manok-Manok, Balabag and Yapac in Boracay.

02:03 But the generator of the tourism establishments is still ready there.

02:07 They are being called to prioritize the supply of electricity manually.

02:13 The Energy Regulatory Commission is still investigating what happened.

02:18 The Department of Energy also wants to know why the three largest plants that supply electricity in Panay Island went bankrupt.

02:26 The PEDC-1 that happened at 12 o'clock had an internal problem, which is the boiler pressure pump.

02:37 But when the PEDC unit fell, the Palm Conception Power Corporation also fell and died.

02:46 What happened? Why did they die?

02:49 Their protection system failed so that their plants wouldn't go bankrupt.

02:54 They had to stop the operation because the system was already in a big imbalance.

03:03 The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, or NGCP, will also look into the system operator.

03:11 The widespread brownout that happened in 2023 will also be reversed so that it won't happen again.

03:17 Resolutions are being submitted to investigate the Senate and the House of Representatives.

03:22 And NGCP is ready to face it.

03:25 Cebu-Negros-Panay Interconnection Project is also being rushed to help the power supply of some places.

03:32 To stabilize the supply of electricity, NGCP said, 300 megawatts is needed for the grid.

03:39 The 135 megawatts load capacity of the Palm Conception Power Corporation is now waiting.

03:45 Between 10 o'clock to 12 midnight tonight, they will be able to synchronize with the grid.

03:52 So what we expect is that by early tomorrow morning, our electricity supply in Panay Island will be complete.

04:06 A strong glass case, CCTV, and surveillance cameras were placed around the new black Nazareno area

04:15 that will be processed on Tuesday.

04:17 Not only is security being prepared, but also the safety of the devotees against the spread of disease.

04:25 Witness, Maris Umali.

04:31 Five days before the translation of the Black Nazareno, the towns are already watching

04:37 in the corner of Cariedo and Avenida to the Church of the Lord.

04:41 Devotees are bringing their own images of the Black Nazareno for the second day of the replicas.

04:52 The number of devotees seems to be increasing with the number of people in the translation of the Black Nazareno on Tuesday.

04:58 It is coming back after three years.

05:01 We don't have an exact estimate in the police station because the movement of people is fluid.

05:05 But what we are doing is just consensus per hour, 2 million.

05:11 In the first case, the whole will be placed inside the laminated tempered glass case

05:16 to protect the image that is more than 400 years old and to stop those who are trespassing.

05:23 It is also in line with the theme this year, "We love to see Jesus." How is this to show the whole?

05:30 20 children will be watching around the place.

05:33 This has a metal and glass enclosure like a tukmobile so that no one can get close to it.

05:41 This has a light provision so that it is bright even at night.

05:46 There is a sound system and CCTV for monitoring our security.

05:51 Our mission is to show the whole.

05:55 We love to see Jesus, not only those who have the capacity to climb.

06:01 The cloth can still be torn, but the cross that is on the glass can be wiped.

06:08 The leadership of the Church Of Christ and the local government of Manila

06:12 is reminding us to be holy, safe, and proper in the whole celebration of the Black Nazareno.

06:18 On the day of the translation, there will be a no-fly and no-sale zone,

06:23 including guns, liquor, and fireworks bans.

06:26 There are also many things that are not allowed, such as ball caps and ribbons.

06:30 If there is a bag, it should be transparent.

06:33 During the translation, including the luneta and around the church,

06:38 it is prohibited to build a tent, bring picnic mats,

06:41 and to stay overnight, as well as the ambulance vendors.

06:44 Police are inspecting the route of the translation for security.

06:48 So far, we have not monitored any threat, but we are not keeping our guards down.

06:53 The clearing operation on the route is daily until the day of the translation.

06:58 The roads are also paved.

07:01 If you fall there, you might be passed by many people.

07:07 You won't be able to get up.

07:09 You will be trampled by other people.

07:14 As much as possible, wear a mask and follow social distancing in the procession man or in the church.

07:21 According to the DOH, from tomorrow until January 11,

07:24 code whites will be declared in all DOH hospitals in Metro Manila.

07:28 Eight health emergency response teams will be deployed on the route in case of medical attention.

07:33 The number of COVID-19 patients is increasing.

07:38 Although it is controlled, even here in Manila,

07:42 the number of positive cases is not that high.

07:45 But we should avoid any kind of surge.

07:51 As much as possible, the plan to enter the church is only P750,

07:55 and P3,000 will be allowed in this area.

07:58 But the church is ready to adjust if necessary.

08:02 President Bombo Marcos declared a special non-working day in Manila on January 9.

08:07 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali.

08:12 According to the Sinag Group, the price of rice could rise even more.

08:17 Some manufacturers of canned goods, noodles and milk also set high prices.

08:23 Bernadette Reyes is a witness.

08:25 After the successive expenses during the holiday season,

08:31 there is an additional expense when the new year begins.

08:36 The price of well-milled rice has increased by P2 per kilo imported from the local market,

08:41 according to the Sama Ingustria na Agrikultura.

08:44 According to the Department of Agriculture,

08:46 the price of well-milled rice in the Metro Manila is now P40 to P55.

08:52 According to Sinag, it could increase by P2 next two weeks

08:59 because the price in the world market is still high,

09:02 where the Philippines is getting additional supply.

09:05 It's P620 per metric ton,

09:11 because of the El Nino.

09:15 There is imported rice,

09:17 but the problem is that the price is still high in the international market.

09:22 So we cannot expect that the price will drop.

09:28 So hopefully, the price we get from other sources will be low.

09:33 For now, we need to secure the supply.

09:36 We know that El Nino will also be available,

09:39 so there will be additional challenge in our level of productivity.

09:43 Canned sardines, canned meat, instant noodles, milk, coffee, bottled water, salt, and sauces are getting more expensive.

09:53 Depending on the product and weight,

09:55 the highest price of some manufacturers is P25 to P7.

10:02 There is also a high price for Pinoy Tasty and Pinoy Pandesal,

10:06 including candles, batteries, and soap.

10:09 According to DTI, in 2023,

10:11 the manufacturers filed a high price,

10:14 but they are discussing to remove it.

10:17 DTI is currently negotiating with manufacturers

10:24 on how to earn in the middle.

10:27 In 2024, manufacturers will not be able to stop the production

10:33 because the workers will be affected.

10:36 It's a barrier that will be built,

10:38 but the high price is heavy for those who will buy and small businesses.

10:43 My husband and I are looking for a job.

10:45 We will remove the products that should not be used.

10:52 We will add a little bit because the price will increase.

10:56 According to the Department of Trade and Industries,

10:58 of the more than 200 products on the list of basic necessities and prime commodities,

11:03 only 63 are increasing the price adjustment.

11:07 If not all of them are approved,

11:09 all of them will be approved this January.

11:11 Who was the first to file?

11:13 Of course, those who filed in 2022 and early 2023.

11:18 Those will be the first to be released by DTI.

11:21 I hope our consumers will not worry

11:26 because DTI is also thinking about the pacing,

11:30 the right timing to roll out the approval.

11:33 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your "Saksi".

11:37 China's challenge has been called

11:41 the drills of the United States and the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea,

11:45 which China also accompanied in patrolling the South China Sea.

11:49 "Saksi" is June Veneration.

11:51 If we are only talking about show of force,

11:57 this is it.

11:58 An aircraft carrier, warships, and fighter planes were brought by the United States

12:03 on the last day of the RPUS Joint Maritime Patrol in the West Philippine Sea.

12:07 This is the Carrier Strike Group 1 of the US Navy.

12:10 The forces of the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson are anchored.

12:14 The Carrier Strike Group 1 conducted a patrol exercise in the activity area in the West Philippine Sea.

12:20 It also showed the fast flight and landing of 16 aircraft.

12:25 The aircraft carrier of the United States just deployed

12:28 in the Joint Maritime Patrol in the West Philippine Sea and at the last opportunity,

12:32 it allowed the air assets of the Armed Forces of the Philippines to be seized by a US aircraft carrier.

12:38 China called it provocative or "paghamon"

12:41 in the deals of the US and the Philippines in the occupied territory.

12:45 China also accompanied its own routine patrol in the South China Sea.

12:50 All of their troops remain alert in safeguarding national security and maritime rights.

12:56 Yesterday, the Chinese warships were spotted not far from the Philippine Navy ships.

13:02 The BRP Ramon Alcaraz challenged several times,

13:05 but there was no answer from the Chinese warships.

13:08 For GMA Integrated News,

13:10 June Veneracion, your "Saksi!"

13:13 President Bongbong Marcos will not allow the entry of investigators of the International Criminal Court,

13:21 according to Senator Bato de la Rosa,

13:24 in the middle of talks that they are already here in the country.

13:28 "Saksi" to Salima Refran and Mav Gonzalez.

13:34 "Solid as a rock, that's why they told me that there is no ICC that can enter here."

13:40 President Bongbong Marcos himself told Senator Bato de la Rosa,

13:45 that's why he is not afraid of the fact that the people of the International Criminal Court or ICC are already in the Philippines

13:52 to investigate the Duterte drug war.

13:55 The President said that the senators will be able to meet him in Malacanang on November 28.

14:01 "That's why I can say that if indeed it's true that they are already in,

14:05 and if indeed their entry is sanctioned by this government,

14:12 authorized by this government,

14:14 that's why I can say that this government is fighting back."

14:18 We asked for reaction from Malacanang to what de la Rosa said.

14:22 Although the President also said in November that he is studying if the Philippines will return to the ICC,

14:28 this is what he said in the drug war investigation of the ICC.

14:32 "It's not right that the outsiders, the foreigners, will tell us,

14:39 whoever will investigate, we have the police, we have the NBI, we have the DOJ,

14:44 they can do their job. And that's really where the conflict is."

14:49 De la Rosa admitted that he has no personal information to confirm

14:53 to the Duterte administration official that the ICC has already sent several people to the Philippines to investigate.

15:00 As the PNP chief who carried out the war on drugs,

15:03 he has no plans to hide if the government allows the ICC probe.

15:07 He also doesn't want to be trusted by Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel

15:11 because if it's true, the Executive should feel it,

15:14 just like the Justice Department or the Commission on Human Rights.

15:17 "It's impossible that they won't feel if they are doing an honest to goodness investigation.

15:24 If there's no such thing, it looks like they're not here yet.

15:29 Although I personally find nothing objectionable if they're already here."

15:33 Whatever it is, the entry of people of the ICC into the Philippines is being blocked

15:38 by a lawyer and concerned citizen who filed a petition for a preliminary injunction in the Calbayog RTC in Samar.

15:46 He said that the investigation is just a hypocrisy and international meddling,

15:51 especially since the Philippines has long been a part of the Rome Statute.

15:55 The country has no legal duty or obligation to the ICC.

15:59 The Justice Secretary said that the ICC should first ask for their permission before investigating the country.

16:08 "They have not made contact with the DOJ.

16:10 It is their responsibility and duty to make contact with the DOJ in accordance with international...

16:15 the principles of international law."

16:17 But if ever the ICC members have entered the Philippines...

16:22 "That's just like research. Research is just research.

16:26 But for it to be used in a legal process, then we cannot do that.

16:29 If there is something happening, it's not a formal thing."

16:32 According to Solicitor General Minardo Guevara,

16:34 the ICC may investigate those who do not go to the Philippines,

16:39 especially if they have help and support from local groups.

16:43 The Bureau of Immigration has information if the ICC is already in the country.

16:47 But the country is arguing that the Philippines has no obligation to help the ICC investigator.

16:54 For JMA Integrated News, I'm Rima Refrain.

16:57 I'm Mav Gonzalez, your sassi.

20:30 It seems like Britney Spears' prerogative to not record.

20:34 It's based on the Instagram post of Princess of Pop.

20:37 It's said that Britney's 10th studio album will be released.

20:42 And according to some US tabloids,

20:44 some singer-songwriters were asked to compose for her.

20:49 But Britney's answer is that it's trash and she will not return to the music industry.

20:55 The singer admitted that she became a ghostwriter for two years

20:58 and was happy to compose 20 songs for others.

21:01 She also denied her autobiography illegally and without basis.

21:05 In the end, Britney said that she was loved and blessed.
