00:05 State of the Nation!

00:07 [music]

00:13 The motorcycle was badly damaged before it collided in the middle of the intersection in Talisay, Cebu City.

00:20 The driver and his cast were injured.

00:24 Based on the investigation, the motorcycle's wheel was damaged but the driver still forced him to use it.

00:30 The accidents have not yet been reported.

00:33 [music]

00:35 Some routes in Metro Manila that are still being passed by many workers and students

00:41 are likely to lose their traditional "G" when February arrives, according to the Piston Group.

00:46 There are many unconsolidated requirements in the PUV Modernization Program.

00:52 We have a report from Joseph Moro.

00:54 Even though there are many unconsolidated requirements,

00:58 EFREN still followed the December 31, 2023 deadline to travel to UP Pantranco,

01:04 even though they can't travel.

01:06 We can travel even for one year, right?

01:08 Even though there's no more work.

01:10 EFREN can still travel when February 1 arrives, when the LTFRB will not be late.

01:16 Some jeeps that are still being passed by UP campus are still not consolidated, according to the Student Council of UP Diliman.

01:22 That's why the Student Council asked their admin for a dialogue about this.

01:26 My friends will expire in July and September.

01:29 How can I be in a color room?

01:31 It hurts. You will lose your right to live.

01:34 This is a problem according to the Piston Group,

01:36 especially when the traditional jeep will lose its routes starting February 1.

01:41 We will see that the public transport is not enough.

01:46 We will see that during the last hour.

01:48 In the jeep of the trip to Cubao de Vizoria, for example,

01:51 the traditional jeep is 165 while the modern one is only 13.

01:56 Where will our commuters ride?

01:59 The passengers can't handle the 13 units.

02:04 There might be no vehicles on the route to Cubao via E. Rodriguez in Spain

02:08 that passes through Cuabo and other main destinations in Manila.

02:12 Project 3 trip to Quezon City is also affected.

02:15 The same route is being used by many employees and students, especially in University Belt.

02:21 All the trips here, the traditional jeepney, does not have a modern minibus.

02:26 According to the LTFRB, there are more than 20,000 jeeps in Metro Manila that are not consolidated

02:33 and will be considered as color rooms on February 1.

02:36 That's almost half of the jeepneys in the region.

02:39 We are asking for the LTFRB's approval, but it was said earlier that most of the main routes

02:46 have consolidated groups and after January, the routes that do not consolidate will be given to the consolidated groups.

02:54 Where in these routes, where there is less than 60 percent or zero,

02:58 to be given to another entity, either a cooperative or corporation, for them to assume that route

03:06 so that it can help the passengers.

03:09 Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.

03:12 PhilHealth has already implemented the monthly contribution of its members.

03:19 From 4 percent, the monthly premium is 5 percent.

03:22 For those who are paying Php 10,000, the monthly contribution is already Php 500.

03:28 If the salary is Php 100,000, the contribution is up to Php 5,000.

03:33 The employer's answer is half of the amount.

03:36 The additional funds will be used to expand the benefits of PhilHealth members.

03:42 The plan is also to double the contribution of its members starting this year.

03:47 From Php 200 that is being allocated by the employees and employers, it will be Php 400 per month.

03:54 This is supported by the Employers Confederation of the Philippines.

03:58 Malacanang is just waiting for this.

04:02 An oil tanker with 18 Filipinos was found in the Gulf of Oman by armed groups from Iran.

04:12 The oil tanker St. Nicholas, owned by a Greek company, is now heading to a pier in Iran.

04:19 Based on the reports from Iran, it was said that the attack was a retaliation for the conquest of America

04:26 by the so-called ship and cargo of oil from Iran a year ago.

04:31 The US State Department has already condemned what happened.

04:34 Our Department of Migrant Workers is already coordinating with agencies that deployed to the Filipinos.

04:40 The GMA Integrated News called and emailed the Embassy of Iran in the Philippines

04:45 to get their report but they have no response as of now.

04:50 The pursuit of smugglers and tax evaders.

04:55 This is included in the marching orders of President Bongbong Marcos to the new finance secretary Ralph Recto.

05:01 Recto also said that the target of the 4.3 trillion pesos tax collection is his priority.

05:07 He has no plans of new taxes to be allocated.

05:11 He will wait for the tax measures passed by the Congress.

05:17 Recto replaced the former secretary Benjamin Diokno who is returning to the Central Bank as a member of the Monetary Board.

05:24 The President said that he appointed Diokno as the head of the Maharlika Investment Corporation but he refused.

05:31 Recto also appointed Frederick Goh as the special assistant to the President for Investments and Economic Affairs.

05:38 He will also be the economic czar of the Finance Budget and Trade and Industry Departments.

05:45 The DSWD is investigating the use of their aid in exchange for a signature for the People's Initiative.

05:54 Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel also raised concerns about the joint voting of the Senate and the House for the Charter Change.

06:02 My report, Sandra Aguinaldo.

06:04 The joint voting of the Senate and the House for the amendment of the Constitution

06:12 is the reason behind the petition for the People's Initiative.

06:17 If the Senators and Congressmen will vote together, the votes of the Senators will be discontinued because there are more Congressmen.

06:26 The former Senate candidate will vote separately on two chambers.

06:31 It is obvious that this is not the People's Initiative. This is an initiative of a specialist in the Constitution.

06:44 What they want to happen is that we will not respect the equal Senate in the House of Representatives.

06:53 They will mix 24 Senators with 315 Congressmen and then one person, one vote.

07:02 That's wrong because our legislature is bicameral.

07:07 That's why the law is ordinary, especially in the legal field.

07:12 Pimentel reminded the public...

07:15 Don't sign that, especially if the petition is not in your mind.

07:24 Let's not sign that even if it reaches, even if it's not.

07:30 According to Pimentel, the Senate is solid in its joint voting and the Senate investigated this.

07:38 We tried to get permission from Attorney Anthony Abad, the name of the person who spread the copy of the petition, but he did not respond to our call.

07:48 Former Court of Appeals Associate Justice Vicente Veloso also identified the person who distributed this petition.

07:55 Veloso was the former chairman of the House Committee on Constitutional Reform when he was a congressman.

08:00 He said that he strongly believes that the People's Initiative is a legitimate and democratic way to pursue reforms.

08:09 He observed that the debate on joint voting and separate voting in the Constituent Assembly is a barrier to the reform of the Constitution.

08:20 The group PIRMA or People's Initiative for Reform, Modernization and Action explained why the Senate and the House of Representatives are supporting joint voting.

08:31 Is the word "jointly" written on the petition?

08:36 Yes. Because that's one of our arguments that our Congress should be unicameral.

08:46 Meaning to say, instead of having two houses of Congress, what's happening is that our movement is slowing down.

08:58 The issue is also the confusion regarding the payment of money or assistance in exchange for PIRMA.

09:03 Some say that PIRMA is worth more than P100.

09:06 Some also say, like Sen. Aimee Marcos, that the government programs are being used in exchange for PIRMA.

09:12 The DSWD or Department of Social Welfare and Development investigated this allegation.

09:18 The DSWD does not support the ongoing People's Initiative.

09:23 I will consult with Sen. Aimee to get the details and I will make sure that we will investigate this.

09:31 Sandra Aguinaldo reporting for GMA Integrated News.

09:38 The case folder of several police officers involved in illegal drugs was lost.

09:43 The investigation is being looked at from a different angle to make sure that the case is solved.

09:49 Aside from this, there is also an investigation regarding the filing of a PIRMA of a chief in an administrative case.

09:57 This was only after four police officers in NCRPO were positive for drug tests.

10:05 (music)

10:10 The Quezon City Prosecutor's Office is recommending a dismissal for the complaint of grave threat against former President Rodrigo Duterte.

10:19 There is no sufficient evidence to prove the complaint filed by ACT Teacher Party List Representative Franz Castro.

10:27 There is no proof that Duterte is serious about his warning to Castro in an interview with SMNI.

10:33 The Chief of the Castro's office has not yet received a copy of the decision.

10:37 He is still consulting with his lawyers.

10:40 The DLJ has already inquired the Chinese National that was involved in the kidnapping and murder of several POGO employees.

10:50 Yu Yang is facing carnapping, drug and robbery cases under the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.

10:58 Yu has not given any statement. The DLJ also included several suspects in the preliminary investigation of the kidnapping of six Chinese nationals and three Filipinos in Muntinlupa last year.

11:10 The three suspects are still being investigated.

11:13 (music)

11:17 (laughter)

11:20 Emotional birthday episode for Kinamabi and Cassie Legaspi in Sarap, right?

11:25 Their mother, Carmina Villaruel, was the one who was able to talk about the love life of the couple.

11:31 I don't know why they say that I'm being known. But I don't care because I am your mother.

11:39 If I'm known, this will not happen. So it only means that I'm not known.

11:49 I will be a boto if I see that person is respectful.

11:56 The truth, the genuine, very sincere. I'm not looking for perfection but the one who has respect for all people.

12:05 But in the press of the new movie Road Trip earlier, Mina was asked.

12:10 Don't react too much. Let's not do a big deal. There's no meaning in saying that.

12:17 After teasing fans with her studio pictures, Ariana Grande is officially back with her new single Yes and?

12:25 Fans noticed some easter eggs like the acronym AG7, which was Ari's nickname in the upcoming 7th studio album.
