00:18 The signing of the People's Initiative Charter Change continues

00:22 despite the Senate's resolution to amend the economic provisions of the Constitution.

00:27 Some signed that the replacement of the flag is a Jew.

00:32 Witnesses, Athena Panganiban-Perez and Sandra Guinaldo.

00:35 [music]

00:39 The flag's high-ranking representative for the petition to amend the Constitution

00:45 is Rachel Galido, the leader of the Samahan sa Mangdaluyong

00:49 who requested that she not be named.

00:51 She held the petition on Saturday but she did not find any evidence.

00:57 I still have to study where it is for and if my other members will accept it,

01:02 if they will sign it or not.

01:04 There is no deadline, no one forced us to sign it.

01:08 So it's okay, we will just hold it until it's okay to talk about it.

01:14 The petition that we saw here in Samandaluyong City is like the previous news.

01:20 It is about the vote of the Senate and the House of Representatives

01:24 to amend the Constitution.

01:26 It shows that the People's Initiative is still in progress.

01:31 In Angono, Rizal, a barangay captain showed me the copy of the petition

01:38 that came from the local government.

01:40 It is a copy of the document that explains the amendment.

01:46 In Pangasinan, there was a promise of assistance in exchange for the signature.

01:51 They said there is assistance.

01:54 They said that it needs to be signed and then the ID needs to be brought.

02:00 It is an amendment revision.

02:02 The assistance was not stated as money or rice.

02:09 They just said that there is assistance on February 1st week or last week.

02:15 Some of the supporters thought that there is assistance, so they signed it.

02:20 I thought it was for assistance.

02:22 They just listed the voters in the house.

02:25 In the issue of 100 pesos per signature,

02:29 we did not receive 100 pesos based on the allegation that 100 pesos is given to us.

02:38 Whether the voter bought or sold the signature to amend the Constitution,

02:43 the complaint of vote buying or vote selling is planned based on the omnibus election code.

02:48 According to the Albay First District,

02:51 the mayor is planning it in his district.

02:54 Police are also being arrested for their involvement.

02:57 The complainants are the ones who filed a complaint,

03:01 the mayors who gave money and said that they need to have their signatures signed

03:12 in the name of the people's initiative.

03:14 He also considered the Senate and Camera's plan of leadership.

03:17 Declaration of war against the 1987 Constitution has been announced from two fronts.

03:26 But I think this will be a compromise agreement between the House and the Senate.

03:35 Most probably, it will be brokered by the President.

03:38 Despite the President's order to review the economic provisions of the Constitution,

03:44 the signature campaign of a group continues.

03:48 According to the group,

03:49 3% of the voters in each district in Albay, Sorsogon, and Catanduanes were allowed to sign.

03:57 According to the complaint of some mayors,

04:00 That's part of the democratic process.

04:02 Anybody can file and oppose the movement.

04:05 At the same time, we are allowed to file if there are sufficient signatures.

04:13 Then we will file the same to the Commission on Election for its verification.

04:17 The President's brother, Senator Amy Marcos,

04:21 considered the resolution of both houses, No. 6, as a diversionary tactic.

04:25 The three economic provisions will be included unless otherwise provided by law.

04:31 It is said that political provisions may be overturned to change the form of the government.

04:38 Many are saying that at this point, we will have a parliamentary session.

04:44 Who wants to be the Prime Minister?

04:47 Those who will not win as President.

04:49 The Senator said that the signature campaign will continue to investigate to bring Chacha to justice.

04:55 In Ilocos Region and Calabarzon, there are other provisions.

04:59 I thought that the P.I. is dead on arrival.

05:03 Why are there DPWH contractors suddenly asking for signatures?

05:09 The congressmen and the city mayor are hiding first.

05:13 We will be the first to sign so that there will not be too many busts.

05:17 According to the media relations section of DPWH,

05:20 they plan to verify the statements of Marcos to their bodies in the regions.

05:26 They have no control over the activities of their contractors if it is revealed in their contract with DPWH.

05:33 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Sandra Aguinaldo, Kami ang Inyo, Saksi.

05:41 Long time ago, in the 6th place of the responding police in the holdup of the jeep in Manila this Friday,

05:49 I am investigating a fight for arresting the suspect. Saksi, Maris Umali.

05:54 [music]

05:59 This incident of the holdup inside the jeep in Manila this Friday is like a scene from a movie.

06:06 The police immediately surrounded the jeepney after the chauffeur was directed to the front of the precinct.

06:11 The riot shield's police was armed and placed in a window to arrest the suspect.

06:20 A policeman was also shot. A policeman was also waiting in front of the jeep's door and was firing a gun at the holdupper.

06:28 But because of their large number, the holdupper was able to shoot him.

06:32 That's why the police shot him and he was shot in the chest. His holdup was stopped.

06:40 But the Manila Police will still investigate if there were any responding police.

06:45 There were non-compliance with the provisions of the police operational procedures.

06:50 Colonel Fajardo is asking when the gun can be fired at the respondent, which is clear in the police protocol.

06:57 The only time you can use your gun is to protect yourself. Obviously, the life of the responding police is not under threat.

07:08 There is no imminent threat against the person who fired the gun. If he fired the gun at a large number of people, this might create another problem because someone might be hit.

07:18 Six responding police left their positions while the investigation is ongoing.

07:23 Even their precinct commander is explaining that it is also possible that they will go back to the training or refresher course

07:31 and give a reminder on the proper response to these incidents if necessary.

07:36 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali.

07:40 NBI has invaded several warehouses in Binondo, Manila that are selling smuggled agricultural products.

07:50 Live from Bam Alegre.

07:52 Bam.

07:57 The letter of authority from the Bureau of Customs is that NBI has invaded the warehouses in Elcano Street in Binondo, Manila

08:05 and the one we are standing in, in Santo Cristo Street in Binondo.

08:09 NBI raided the cold storage facilities that are selling smuggled agricultural products.

08:22 This letter of authority is a bit bit.

08:25 From the BOC, NBI has obtained legitimacy to enter these warehouses.

08:33 They are selling smuggled products like broccoli, celery, apples, grapes, and other vegetables and fruits from other countries.

08:45 According to NBI, these are being imported from China.

08:48 Some local farmers are complaining that the low prices of smuggled vegetables are affecting their livelihoods.

08:54 NBI confirmed that smuggled vegetables are being smuggled with the help of case build-up and test buy.

09:01 GMA Integrated News reported on one of the people who are guarding the warehouse and said that

09:07 he has no knowledge that the imported vegetables are illegal here.

09:10 The statement of the BOC is also here.

09:16 I just entered here and I said that I will just sell and receive.

09:21 We have no idea where this is from.

09:23 We only know that the one with the head is from the Philippines.

09:29 We only talk to him.

09:31 Upon discovery of such goods, we saw that there are many imported products like broccoli,

09:42 other kinds of vegetables, and other kinds of agri-products.

09:46 In our operation, we caught more than 5 million agricultural products.

09:57 This is a big burden for our local farmers.

10:02 The BOC will not stop in finding these kinds of smuggling activities.

10:08 [Music]

10:13 Authorities are investigating who are behind this smuggling

10:17 and what they are facing in the fight against Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.

10:22 Live from Manila, I'm Bam Alagre for GMA Integrated News, I'm your witness.

10:27 [Music]

10:29 The flood in some places in Mindanao is very heavy.

10:31 The flood also accompanied the bad weather.

10:34 Witnesses, Kenta Bregana of GMA Regional TV, One Mindanao.

10:38 [Music]

10:42 The road in the barangay of Compostela Davao de Oro was flooded.

10:46 It was very difficult to cross.

10:48 So the residents used inflatable beds.

10:51 The flood was very heavy.

10:53 After the heavy rain, there were wild animals like pigs that drowned.

10:58 In the barangay of Mawab, the income of their house is just enough.

11:02 More than 100 were evacuated.

11:04 Because of the heavy rain, landslides occurred in the barangay of Sawangan

11:08 where the two houses were affected.

11:10 That's why Mawab MDRRMO was able to carry out a rescue operation.

11:13 Using a motorboat, the stranded residents were also rescued in Montivista.

11:19 It's been 3 months since they were rescued.

11:23 We couldn't do anything.

11:26 The Philippine Coast Guard also evacuated more than 20 families in the town of Maco

11:30 and brought them to the evacuation center.

11:33 In Tagum City, the road was cut and damaged in the Puroc Lemon Barangay, Pandapan

11:39 following the flooding.

11:41 No one was injured or killed in the incident.

11:44 Authorities are also monitoring the landslide prone areas in the area.

11:48 The road in Caraga Davao Oriental was also temporarily closed

11:52 where some trees were cut.

11:54 Authorities immediately inspected it and helped the motorists cross.

11:59 The rivers were also monitored.

12:02 The rivers in Tabon Barangay, Bislig City, Surigao del Sur were also flooded

12:07 because of the rain.

12:09 More than 200 residents were evacuated.

12:12 A clearing operation was also carried out to prevent the roads from being blocked.

12:16 Aside from the flooding, landslides occurred in Tinoyan Falls.

12:19 In the middle of that, the Surigao del Sur was hit by a magnitude 5 earthquake

12:23 where the epicenter was recorded in the map.

12:26 In Opol, Misamis Oriental, a barge crashed into a town

12:30 because of the strong waves and wind.

12:32 The LGU of Opol has already contacted the PPA, Maritime PNP, and Coast Guard

12:37 to evacuate it from the town.

12:39 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Kent Abrigana of GMA Regional TV, One Mindanao.

12:45 Your Saksi!

12:47 The heavy flooding experienced in some parts of Mindanao

12:52 is like a shear line.

12:54 It was formed by heavy rain due to the heat and cold wind.

12:59 It will continue to flow in the country, so be alert in the event of a flood or landslide.

13:05 Along with that, the stormy Amihan.

13:07 According to the Metro Weather, a large part of Mindanao will be flooded

13:11 including Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, Soxargen, and Davao Region.

13:17 There are also scattered floods in some parts of Visayas.

13:21 The chance of rain in Luzon is low, aside from Cagayan, Quezon Province, and Mimaropa.

13:27 There is heavy rain in Mindoro Provinces, so be careful, Kapuso.

13:31 And in Metro Manila, the chance of rain is not being eliminated.

13:35 The government has no money to help those who are suffering from oversupply.

13:44 According to the Department of Agriculture, they will help in other ways.

13:49 Witness, Ivan Mayrina.

13:51 The cold is chilling, but the farmers will continue to harvest.

14:00 It doesn't matter what they do, because the 15 tons of cabbage will be ruined.

14:05 If you don't harvest it, it will be ruined.

14:08 So you have to harvest it, even if the vegetables are low.

14:12 They don't want to be like that, the same with the tons of Chinese cabbage that was not harvested.

14:16 It was not harvested last week because the buying price dropped to 3 to 4 pesos per kilo.

14:22 It was ruined because it was over-harvested and there was no rain.

14:28 Why didn't the farmers harvest it right away?

14:30 Because the price is low, it cannot be sold.

14:34 Because if they harvest it, it will go to the hauling.

14:40 According to the Department of Agriculture, the farmers are helping to sell vegetables quickly.

14:44 And they are not being harassed by the trader.

14:47 The cabbages are still being harvested, including Chinese cabbages.

14:52 It's not oversupply.

14:55 According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chulaurel,

14:58 30 percent or three out of every 10 kilos of agricultural produce in the country is wasted.

15:04 There is no money to be given to farmers who are suffering from oversupply, according to the DA.

15:10 At the moment, our team at the DA is trying to figure out what we can give them.

15:16 As far as Cash Ayuda is concerned, I'm actually not a believer in that.

15:21 I'd rather give farm implements like seeds, fertilizer, something else.

15:31 Among the plans, four cold storage facilities in FTI Taguig and other parts of Luzon

15:38 will be funded at a price of P1 billion and will be targeted by the middle of 2025.

15:44 As for rice and corn, at the moment, almost half a million tons of rice is wasted,

15:49 equivalent to P10 billion in post-harvest losses.

15:53 If this is reduced, it will also result in a 5 percent reduction in the price.

15:58 But it is still far from the 20 pesos per kilo.

16:02 It's an aspiration. It's a target.

16:04 Still, given the current realities?

16:07 We'll try our best.

16:11 It's better to have a goal, so that everybody tries to achieve it as hard as possible.

16:20 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Merida is your witness.

16:24 China called our ambassador there after President Barack Obama's statement on the presidential elections in Taiwan.

16:34 China's warning to the Philippines is not to play with fire on Taiwan's issue.

16:39 Witness, JP Soriano.

16:41 After Lai Ching-Teh's statement on the presidential elections in Taiwan,

16:49 President Bongbong Marcos is one of the guests.

16:53 The President said that the Philippines is hoping for a closer relationship with Taiwan

16:59 and strengthening the mutual interest of Taiwan in the Philippines.

17:03 Lai thanked Marcos.

17:06 But after this, the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines said

17:10 that the Chinese Foreign Ministry called our ambassador in China, Jaime Flor Cruz.

17:16 He explained what he said in the statement of President Marcos.

17:21 In one statement, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said

17:26 that President Marcos' statements are a serious violation of the "One China Principle"

17:31 of the Philippine's commitment to China and the "Internal Affairs of China".

17:38 He also said that the Philippines should not play with fire

17:43 and stop making false statements and moves related to the Taiwan issue.

17:49 He also asked President Marcos to read and understand the history of the Taiwan issue

17:56 so that they can have a correct conclusion.

17:59 There is no statement about this yet.

18:02 The DFA explained in their statement that Marcos' greeting is a way for the President

18:08 to thank Taiwan for accepting and taking care of almost 200,000 OFWs in Taiwan.

18:15 The DFA said that the Philippines continues to recognize the "One China Policy".

18:21 Aside from President Marcos, among the presidential candidates in Taiwan

18:26 are US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron,

18:32 as well as the foreign ministers of Japan and Singapore.

18:36 In the statement of Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson,

18:40 the DFA condemned and condemned the "false" actions of the countries

18:44 that welcomed the new leader of Taiwan who violated the "One China Principle".

18:50 They have already committed serious demarches that are a way of "defeating the official position or preferences of a country".

18:58 The "One China Policy" is a policy recognized by many countries in the world,

19:03 including the Philippines, which claims that it has only one government,

19:08 and Taiwan is the only province of China.

19:12 And as a supplement to this, the Philippines has no diplomatic relations with Taiwan,

19:17 so there is no Philippine embassy there, and there are only economic and cultural offices.

19:24 According to the current chairman of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office, Omeco in Taiwan.

19:29 It's a safe gesture because in every contest, someone wins,

19:36 and when you win, you immediately receive many congratulations.

19:41 China is watching us very, very closely.

19:44 It was dumbfounded when the president shifted to the US,

19:49 when they thought that President Marcos was their candidate in 2022.

19:55 So it's still a puzzle to them, and they don't like the visit of Kamala Harris,

20:00 they don't like the visit of Blinken, they don't like the visit of Nancy Pelosi,

20:05 and they don't like the fact that we are sort of a partnership, or at least appear to be partnering with Taiwan.

20:14 We are breathing the air of Malacanang.

20:18 For GMA Integrated News, I am JP Soriano, your witness.

20:24 The big part of America is covered by snow due to the Arctic blast from Canada.

20:32 According to the US National Weather Service, more than 75 million residents in America are affected by the Wind Chill Warning.

20:39 More than 300,000 houses in the US Northeast and Pacific Northwest are without electricity.

20:46 Football fans have already helped to remove the snow from a stadium in New York.

20:52 Meanwhile, the Philippine Consulate in New York is monitoring the effects of bad weather on Filipinos.

21:01 A dog was found dead in Goa, Camarines Sur.

21:05 It was rescued by its owner in Capahamacan.

21:09 According to Emanuel Onsay, while resting in their cubo, he heard the sound of a dog barking,

21:15 which sounded like it was breathing.

21:17 He brought it to the veterinary, but the dog was brought back to life.

21:22 Early in the morning, Emanuel saw a dead cobra near the cubo.

21:27 Emanuel believes that his dog, Can-Can, was fighting the cobra so it wouldn't get close to him.

21:34 They also discovered that seven chickens were killed.

21:38 Dear listeners, here are some programs and projects of GMA Integrated News at the 20th Philippine Quill Awards.

21:48 As a witness,

21:50 For the importance of Sierra Madre, the significance of the backbone of the Luzon River is highlighted here,

21:58 which flows and breaks through the storms.

22:01 Especially the 24 hours for the story of Sinking Cities.

22:16 The Sounds and Stories of the Philippines and the Heart of Nature were also highlighted.

22:23 We are very grateful for your support.

22:29 You can expect us to continue our bigger mission and broader service to the country.

22:36 Thank you, Igor, for your testimony.

22:38 I am Arnold Clavio.

22:40 I am Pia Arcangel.

22:41 For a bigger mission and broader service to the country.

22:45 From GMA Integrated News, the Philippine News Authority,

22:48 Until tomorrow, let's be together as witnesses.

22:53 My fellow Filipinos, let's be together as witnesses.
