00:00 [Music]
00:14 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:19 The government has decided to reduce the cost of the jeep to P50 because of the PUV modernization program of the government.
00:29 The group of Para Advocates for Inclusive Transport said that the cost of the PUV modernization is increasing to compensate the operators.
00:38 In response, another commuter group, National Center for Commuter Safety and Protection, Inc.,
00:44 said that they have not seen an increase in the cost of the PUV based on their studies.
00:48 The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board called it "not logical and statistically impossible" that the cost of the jeep increased to P50.
00:58 The LTFRB said that within six years since the PUV modernization began, the difference in the cost of the traditional and modern jeep is still P2.
01:09 The Department of Transportation said that there is no higher cost that did not go through the process of the LTFRB.
01:17 What we heard that there will be a 300-400 percent increase is not true and the higher cost is not expected in our consolidation and PUV modernization program.
01:34 China said that the joint maritime patrol of the Philippines and America in the West Philippine Sea was provocative.
01:42 On the last day, America sent their forces to the Philippines for a "himpapawid" (a military parade)
01:47 We have first news, June Veneracion.
01:49 If we are only talking about a show of force, this is it.
01:56 An aircraft carrier, warships, and fighter planes were brought by America on the last day of the RPUS joint maritime patrol in the West Philippine Sea.
02:05 This is the Carrier Strike Group 1 of the US Navy.
02:08 The USS Carl Vinson anchored the aircraft carrier.
02:12 The Carrier Strike Group 1 conducted a patrol exercise in the activity area in the West Philippine Sea.
02:17 It also showed the fast flight and landing of 16 aircraft.
02:22 America just deployed an aircraft carrier in the joint maritime patrol in the West Philippine Sea.
02:28 And at the last minute, it allowed the air assets of the Armed Forces of the Philippines to land on a US aircraft carrier.
02:35 China called it provocative or "pushy" to make deals with the US and the Philippines in the occupied territory.
02:42 China also monitored its own routine patrol in the South China Sea.
02:48 All of their troops remained alert in safeguarding national security and maritime rights.
02:54 China's warships were also spotted not far from the Philippine Navy's ships.
02:59 The BRP Ramon Alcaraz challenged several times, but there was no answer from China's warships.
03:05 This is the first news.
03:06 Jun Veneracion for GMA Integrated News.
03:09 Devotees have already gathered here in Quiapo Church on the first Friday of 2024.
03:17 As you can see behind me, the church is already full.
03:21 That's why many devotees have already listened to the mass here in Plaza Miranda.
03:26 There are also many people around the church, just like on the streets of Villa Lobos and Carriedo.
03:31 The situation has been like that since early morning.
03:34 [music]
03:39 Devotees have been coming here to Quiapo Church since early morning.
03:44 Even before the first mass at 4 o'clock, the church is already full.
03:48 That's why many people have already gathered here in Plaza Miranda.
03:51 Today is the first Friday of the year.
03:54 The 83-year-old woman, Nida, walked a long distance before she could enter the church.
03:59 She walked slowly and it was hard for her to walk.
04:02 But she did not neglect this for the whole Nazarene.
04:06 We love you, sir. We love you.
04:08 This is what we are offering as a sacrifice to you.
04:11 We know that you love us, that's why we love you so much.
04:15 Richard has been carrying his replica of the whole church for more than a decade.
04:20 He did not forget the first Friday of 2024.
04:24 I have no option on November Friday, especially if it's like this.
04:27 It's for the well-being of my family and for a better life.
04:31 We are thankful to all of our devotees
04:35 that this year, the translation of the Black Jesus of Nazareth was made.
04:40 We are happy because we will be able to do it again.
04:43 My husband and my children will be able to pray again.
04:46 Arnold is a year-long pastor.
04:49 He said that he fulfilled this duty for his children.
04:52 We are all very happy because we will be able to pray again.
04:57 Because of the trials that we have been through,
05:03 we were able to endure it because we have always been there for each other.
05:09 But there are some changes this year that we did not see.
05:12 For example, the placement of the image of the whole in a laminated tempered glass case.
05:18 According to the leadership of the Church Of Christ of Latter-day Saints,
05:21 in order to protect the image of the whole for more than 400 years,
05:25 and to stop those who are still preaching.
05:28 Of course, we are also changing because this has not happened for a long time.
05:32 We will just be included in their procession.
05:34 Outside the Church Of Christ of Latter-day Saints,
05:36 the preparations are already underway.
05:39 There is a steel fence around the Church Of Christ of Latter-day Saints,
05:41 so only one entrance will enter the church.
05:44 On the side of the church,
05:46 like in Cariedo and Quezon Boulevard,
05:49 a yellow marking was also placed in Plaza Miranda
05:52 to serve as a guide for the devotees.
05:55 Igan, just information,
06:03 a man was arrested by the police after he made a bomb joke about the bomb.
06:09 He is currently in custody in Plaza Miranda PCP.
06:12 We are still waiting for additional information.
06:15 But the Manila Police District is reminding us that such jokes are against the law.
06:20 Meanwhile, just after 5 a.m.,
06:24 the morning mass will start.
06:27 As you can see, the devotees are already entering the church.
06:34 Only one entrance will enter the church.
06:36 It is here in Villa Lobos.
06:38 As you can see, there are yellow markings here.
06:42 When the church is full,
06:43 they will stand here in Plaza Miranda to listen to the mass.
06:47 Those yellow markings will serve as their guide in their line-up here.
06:53 We will continue to monitor the situation here.
06:55 That is the first news here in Manila.
06:57 I am Darlene Kaye for GMA Integrated News.
07:01 We are still waiting for the translation of 2024.
07:06 It's January 9 on Tuesday.
07:08 We will be watching police colonel Gene Pardo,
07:10 spokesperson of the Philippine National Police.
07:13 Good morning colonel.
07:14 Good morning sir Igan.
07:16 How ready is the PNP?
07:19 How many will be detailed there?
07:21 Our deployment is already in place sir Igan for the translation.
07:26 We will deploy more than 15,000 for the whole translation related activities.
07:33 It is expected that the number of devotees will return to pre-pandemic level.
07:38 Of course, it is a big threat to our police.
07:42 Can they control it?
07:43 It will be a challenge, like the ones we have already over, the translation.
07:50 You're right.
07:51 We expect that the attendees for this year's translation will probably match the pre-pandemic figures of around two million.
07:59 Aside from the 15,000, we still have a reserved standby force.
08:05 If we need to add more, especially for those who will pass through the position on January 9, we have a ready deployable force.
08:16 Many are prohibiting, like the things that are hidden and the umbrella.
08:21 Will the PNP place checkpoints?
08:24 We will place what we call controlled areas where we will have a security check
08:32 so that the prohibited items we are talking about will not be violated.
08:39 We are happy that the members of the E-host volunteered to conduct the security check.
08:48 Colonel, has the PNP checked the glass case in Andas, Nazareno?
08:54 You know that it might be stolen, it would be a disgrace.
08:59 That's right sir. We are talking to our countrymen and our deputies that for this year,
09:07 it's one of the big changes that the PNP placed a case of laminated glass in Nazareno.
09:17 We are asking them not to attempt to steal it and it might be stolen.
09:23 The management of the Church of Chiapas assured us that it will not be broken and it will be stolen.
09:31 That's one of the considerations of our adjustment of deployment.
09:36 Are you receiving intel information, threat or confusion in the translation Colonel?
09:44 Sir, we are not receiving any serious threat although we are praying for the best.
09:52 We are expecting and preparing for the worst scenarios.
09:56 We are preparing our table top exercise and contingency planning in case there is a need to execute some security measures to prevent this threat.
10:11 We have a jammer right?
10:13 It was considered during the planning sir and it is one of the things that we can do on the day of the translation.
10:22 Tomorrow, you will close the road Colonel. Is there a road that will be closed so that the activity will be organized tomorrow?
10:30 Yes sir. They have announced that they will close some roads, especially the ones that will go through processions and other activities.
10:43 They will also implement rerouting to make sure that the processions will be fast.
10:52 Thank you very much PNP spokesperson Police Colonel Jean Pajardo. Be careful.
10:57 Indonesian President Joko Widodo will visit the Philippines next week.
11:02 According to the Presidential Communications Office, Widodo will have three official visits from January 9 to January 11.
11:09 President Bongbong Marco will visit the Philippines on Wednesday to discuss the progressive relationship between the Philippines and Indonesia.
11:16 It is expected that the relationship between the two countries will be strengthened and deepened,
11:21 especially on the 75th anniversary of the formal diplomatic relations between the two countries.
11:26 President Marco will visit Indonesia on September 22.
11:31 The vehicles parked on the road and other vehicles that are blocked on the roads will be removed and the road will be translated on Tuesday.
11:51 Live from Manila, we have first news with James Agustin.
11:56 James.
11:58 Good morning. Residents of Quiapo, Manila are happy that after a few years, the road will be translated and will be re-routed to their place.
12:09 Earlier, we have already visited the road that will go through the procession of Pong Nazareno.
12:17 Some roads here in Quiapo, Manila will be part of the route of Pong Nazareno's translation next week.
12:24 From Arlegui Street, the road will go right to Fraternal Street and right to Vergara Street, left to Duque de Alba Street and left to Castillejo Street.
12:35 When it comes to Dulo, it will go left to Farnesio Street before going out to Arlegui Street.
12:40 The roads here will be cut off and the road will be usually long.
12:45 Although there are vehicles that are blocked on the roads, barangay officials have already issued a notice to remove them before the translation.
12:53 Residents are happy that the road of Pong Nazareno will be re-routed.
12:58 In Castillejo Street, they have a chapel that has a replica of the image of Nazareno.
13:03 We are happy. Of course, as devotees, we are happy because the time that we did not come here is not happy.
13:18 Every year, we come here.
13:21 We are happy and excited because the feast of Quiapo is alive again.
13:25 It has been a long time and it has been gone for many years.
13:28 Florencio has been a devotee of Pong Nazareno for more than four decades.
13:32 He says that his greatest wish is to thank all the blessings that his family received.
13:37 I am just trying to make my life better so that my children can finish their studies.
13:42 With God's mercy, it's okay. They are here now. They have jobs.
13:49 Manuel, who has a restaurant in the area, is a part of the devotion of giving free food and drinking water to the devotees.
13:56 It's a prayer to give food and drink to the people who pass by.
14:00 It's a part of the dedication.
14:03 The Manila LGU has also issued a list of roads that will be closed to allow for the transfer.
14:09 From 9 p.m. on Monday, January 8 until the day of the transfer on Tuesday, January 9.
14:20 Meanwhile, the MMDA and Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau are continuing to appeal to the residents
14:26 who live on the route where the Pong Nazareno's transfer will pass.
14:30 They will be the ones to take care of the roads so that the transfer of Pong Nazareno will be well-managed.
14:39 First, we will hear from Quiapo, Manila. I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
14:46 Aside from the residents, hospitals in Panay Island are also facing problems
14:51 due to the lack of electricity supply in many parts of Western Visayas.
14:55 Live from Iloilo City, we have Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV One, Western Visayas. Kim?
15:03 Susan, the lack of electricity supply here in Panay Island is still a problem.
15:12 So it is up to the various sectors to see what will happen if the electricity supply is not stabilized.
15:19 There is nothing they can do but to go out to their homes, these senior citizens in Iloilo City.
15:28 They say that the heat inside the house is unbearable amidst the wide power outage in Panay Island.
15:34 But we are already old, we are already old.
15:38 Of course, we are not hot. If you don't have a coat, you will be high blood pressure.
15:43 Businesses are already affected and they are worried that the daily losses in the city will reach up to half a million pesos.
15:51 Everybody is in pain. They are in a bad shock. The whole city is in a bad shock.
15:56 Hospitals are spending more because they need crude oil for the use of the generator.
16:01 But more than that, it is up to the management of a hospital in Pavia.
16:05 The possible destruction of hospital equipment.
16:09 We have patients that we need to secure.
16:13 All the way down, we have to pay for the consumption of our generator which is almost 40,000 pesos in two days.
16:23 In Damangas, Iloilo, many people go to the hospital with asthma because the nebulizer cannot be used in their homes.
16:31 They are just using the extension cords. It is better if they bring the nebulizer.
16:38 It is better. If someone is sick in the ER, they can pull out one patient and deliver it to another patient.
16:46 It is good that the supply of electricity is back in other places.
16:50 Rojas Memorial Provincial Hospital in Capiz is not a problem anymore.
16:54 There is electricity in Boracay, particularly in the chicken farms, Balabag and Yapac.
17:00 But the generators of tourism establishments are still ready and they are called to prioritize the supply of electricity manually.
17:09 It is just a way to save money. Some of them are working in tourism enterprises.
17:16 In Negros Occidental, electricity is still fluctuating.
17:21 That is why some businessmen are worried that their appliances and shops will be damaged.
17:27 The products are not clean. They are not used.
17:33 They are not used. We cannot use them.
17:37 Once they are not used, we will be ashamed. We will be ashamed in front of our customers.
17:44 The grid is a problem. The transmission line of the GCP.
17:50 Especially in the early hours, the frequency of the voltage in the line is low.
17:57 That creates a problem in the transmission line.
18:01 According to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, NGCP, a 300 megawatts grid is needed to stabilize the supply.
18:09 The PAM Concepcion Power Corporation is waiting for 135 megawatts load capacity.
18:16 We have a load of 238 megawatts.
18:20 213 megawatts of this comes from the power plant in Panay.
18:26 It was returned online. There are around nine of them.
18:30 Hopefully, if the last remaining big base load power plant, PCPC, can be returned, hopefully it will slowly go back to normal again.
18:43 According to the Panay Energy Development Corporation or PEDC, their units were first tripped before the power outage.
18:51 Before the power outage, there was still a sufficient supply of power.
19:00 We actually fast-tracked the start-up process because the activation was only momentary.
19:09 It was detected but it was not a problem.
19:15 We were able to return it immediately.
19:18 It's just unfortunate that before we could return it, there was a total blackout.
19:24 The problem did not come from the source of the power plant, but from the transmission from Cebu.
19:30 In addition to the PEDC, the power plant in Panay has a capacity of more than 600 megawatts and the demand is only 320 megawatts.
19:39 If we shut down or if a power plant trips, it is still sufficient to supply the whole Panay area.
19:51 What happened was that when the power plant shut down simultaneously, which is very uncommon.
20:04 So there must be something that triggered it. That's what we don't know.
20:10 Under the leadership of DOE Secretary Rafael Lotilia, official from the Energy Regulatory Commission, several local chief executives and power sector,
20:19 DOE instructed the NJCP to speed up the completion of the Cebu-Negros-Panay Backbone Project, which is a big help to increase the supply of electricity.
20:28 I should have finished it by March because the deadline for the backbone was extended.
20:34 We should be more transparent so that we can do our work better.
20:40 Susan, just a few days ago, the PAM Concepcion Power Corporation was synchronized with the grid
20:53 and is slowly returning to supply electricity to the entire Panay Island.
20:58 Thank you very much, Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV One, Western Visayas.
21:04 Online videos of your services are spreading.
21:10 We are here with Ivan Mayrina who is announcing the delivery of quintas from Italy.
21:17 Don't be fooled, my dear viewers, because it's fake and it's possible that it was done using AI or artificial intelligence.
21:24 We have first news from Rafi Tima.
21:27 We have a mama mary necklace from Vatican.
21:31 We will start with this video.
21:34 At first glance, you will think that this is a true story of GMA News anchor and senior reporter Ivan Mayrina.
21:41 This is a blessing from the priests in Vatican, Italy.
21:44 We have a mama mary necklace from Vatican.
21:47 And GMA host Susan Enriquez.
21:49 Let's find out, my dear viewers.
21:52 If you watch the video, you will see that it's not true news, either from 24 Hours or any other social media platform of GMA.
22:00 Even if the graphics or fonts in the report look real, this large font is visible in the video and can be seen in the top and bottom of the video.
22:08 It's not used by 24 Hours and GMA social media team.
22:12 Even though it's the voice of Ivan and Susan, it's obvious that the words in their mouths are not correct,
22:18 even their big cast in the word necklace.
22:21 Now, a mama mary necklace.
22:23 A mama mary necklace from Vatican.
22:26 In the middle of the video, it's obvious that the priest who is also the uploader of the video is also speaking like a robot.
22:33 Until now, many people have supported us and now, many people are helping us.
22:38 It's possible that the priest's likeness and the video itself is AI generated.
22:47 The whole message of the video, the priest is giving a free necklace from Italy, it seems like it's not a lie.
22:54 If the message looks like it's not a lie or you won't think that it's from that person,
23:03 maybe the best thing to do is to ask and confirm if it's really from him.
23:08 What's left in the video is the same as the voice of Ivan and Susan, it's something that artificial intelligence can do.
23:17 He can get a lot of voices from his daily speech, his broadcast.
23:25 Now, you can get a lot of things.
23:29 The training you can give to AI is good.
23:31 After AI learns, you can tell it what you want to say.
23:38 We tried to contact the page owner of the social media page, based on the picture, he also introduced the priest who is speaking in the video.
23:45 But the cellphone number that's on the page can't be contacted.
23:48 Since the upload of the video last December, the video has reached 1.8 million views,
23:53 which is the one of Ivan Mayrina, and the video has 146,000 views, which is the one of Susan Enriquez.
24:00 We are still trying to get the page of the social media platform,
24:03 but they said that they are still fighting against the fake videos that are being uploaded on their platform.
24:10 According to the experts, it's really hard to know if the videos or audio that we are watching and listening to are fake or true.
24:20 So to avoid being fooled, understand well and look at the message you're watching.
24:26 Don't believe it right away and verify it well.
24:30 This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
24:35 The word of the day is necklace.
24:44 Necklace.
24:45 I just want to say necklace and necklace.
24:48 That's just AI.
24:49 But this is heart-warming.
24:51 We're going to talk about something emotional.
24:56 In the last day, in the star of Sania Lopez and Ashley Ortega,
24:59 they met the two comfort women during the Japanese occupation.
25:03 They are Lola Estring and Lola Ising, who were both sentenced to be sex slaves during World War II.
25:11 With the help of Lila Pilipinas, Sania and Ashley had a chance to learn
25:17 the story of the comfort women during the Japanese occupation in the Philippines.
25:22 I just cried. I just covered my eyes.
25:28 I remember the woman said that if I fight, I will be killed.
25:35 I was 11 to 12 years old.
25:37 I experienced a period of not being able to control myself.
25:48 Now, I see young people.
25:57 They are happy.
26:01 I said, "I wish I could have reached that age.
26:07 I would have been happy like them."
26:10 But when I grew up, I was brought up with my trauma.
26:18 For Sania and Ashley, the story of Lola Estring and Lola Ising
26:23 will serve as an inspiration to bring to life the scenes of the upcoming primetime series, "Pulang Araw."
26:30 Trauma like that will not go away.
26:32 I learned the courage, the strength of the heart,
26:38 their faith that they can still survive in the life they have.
26:45 I'm sorry, I'm crying because they are so great.
26:49 I was really amazed by them.
26:51 It's amazing.
26:53 They experienced something amazing.
26:55 I realized that our generation is so lucky.
26:59 I'm sorry I couldn't stop myself.
27:01 One of the greatest lessons is that you should be grateful to the youth
27:07 because we are so lucky now.
