00:00 [News Anchor]
00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:13 Good evening Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:19 [News Anchor]
00:43 The Binong Task Force also promised that the incident of government absence will not happen again.
00:49 Chino Gasto was on the scene.
00:52 This was caught by the Filipino fishermen in Bajo de Masinloc,
00:58 where the Chinese Coast Guard spotted the fishermen who were pulling fish and other seafood from the bay.
01:05 This green boat was stopped and was held by a Chinese Coast Guard man wearing life vest.
01:13 The Chinese were pulling the fish and seafood from the Philippines.
01:18 The PCG and BFAR of Bajo de Masinloc are regularly monitoring, providing gasoline, water and food to the fishermen.
01:27 But at this time, the PCG and BFAR of the area have no ships.
01:32 The Coast Guard found the remains of the fishermen who will serve as the basis of the next action of the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea.
01:41 This happened on January 12, wherein there is no Coast Guard and BFAR vessel that was present during that time.
01:49 But we are now coordinating with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
01:54 to make sure that this kind of lull time, when there will be a vacuum of the presence of government forces, will no longer happen again.
02:03 According to our Filipino fishermen, every time there is a public vessel there, whether the Coast Guard or the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,
02:13 the Chinese Coast Guard will have more leeway because they focus more on the Philippine Coast Guard vessels and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
02:23 The incident happened on January 12, five days before the China-Philippines Bilateral Consultation Meeting in Shanghai,
02:31 where China and the Philippines promised to strengthen maritime communication and resolve issues in the West Philippine Sea.
02:39 In the last event, where there was a rumble or harassment of our fishermen by the Chinese Coast Guard,
02:50 we are now taking responsibility for this and we condemn this latest provocative action.
02:56 The Armed Forces of the Philippines said that the Northern Luzon Command is regularly monitoring the Bahaudi Masinlok,
03:02 but they did not receive this report.
03:05 We consider this alarming because the incidents are getting closer and closer.
03:10 But with the command conference that we had, there was guidance by the President.
03:15 With any incident that we get, we will fortify our missions accordingly.
03:21 We are reactive in these cases, but we will assure the public that we are continuously doing our regular operations in our territorial waters.
03:32 Meanwhile, the Western Command of the AFP delivered food supplies to the soldiers in the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayun and Shoal this week by airplane.
03:43 This was after one of the resupply vessels that would transport food supplies and soldiers had a problem.
03:51 The food supplies that were dropped from the airplane while it was floating in the sea
03:56 were followed by soldiers in a rubber boat from the BRP Sierra Madre.
04:01 Although they did not say what was the problem of the ship,
04:04 it was said that the resupply vessels must be seaworthy or safe enough to sail before they embark on their mission.
04:12 For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston, 24 Hours.
04:17 The joyous celebration of the feast of Señor Santo Niño in Tondo, Manila was followed by tension and chaos.
04:25 Because it was a good timing, some men were allowed to drink the bottle of alcohol and sit down,
04:31 which was wounded five times.
04:34 The last one who was disturbed was Darlene Cai.
04:40 Residents of Maragay 38, Tondo, Manila were happy because of the feast of Santo Niño until 11 o'clock in the evening.
04:47 Next to it, some men wearing blue T-shirts arrived at Cagitingan Street.
04:52 A few more seconds later, there was already a chaos.
04:55 Men one by one drank the bottle of alcohol and it was thrown at the residents on the other side of the street.
05:04 They pushed and threw chairs.
05:07 A motorcycle fell.
05:10 Later, the police came to help.
05:13 Eladio was injured in the head and leg.
05:16 The blood in his clothes and the one he was with, Michelle, was still bleeding.
05:19 "One of our men was already drunk because the woman fell.
05:23 We pulled him aside and let him go home.
05:26 I told him to go home because he was already drunk.
05:29 They happened to pass by on a motorcycle.
05:32 The woman was wearing a skirt.
05:35 They pushed her in the corner and she came back.
05:39 She asked, "Who are you? Who are you letting go home?"
05:42 I told her, "Wait, no one is letting you go home. We don't know you."
05:46 The motorcycle left, but later, the man with the other men came back.
05:52 "My sister's daughter fell.
05:54 We went to the store and I was already drunk."
05:57 Then, his family came to him.
06:00 "It was really a disaster.
06:02 When they were about to throw stones, everyone came to help.
06:07 The problem is, someone was with them and they were already injured.
06:11 Many innocents were injured."
06:13 "I was also injured. I was standing here.
06:16 I asked him.
06:18 I thought I was just beaten, so I went there.
06:20 There were many blood stains.
06:22 When I saw that I was bleeding, I ran."
06:25 His family and neighbors were not able to get him out of the car.
06:29 The barangay members also responded immediately,
06:31 but they were not able to reach the group of men.
06:34 They are not from there.
06:35 The investigation of the incident continues.
06:38 For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, 24 Hours.
06:43 Some congressmen were just ordered to sign for the People's Initiative
06:50 that is far from being able to push for the Charter Change,
06:52 according to Senator Bato de la Rosa.
06:54 House Speaker Martin Romualdez is the one who is being ordered to do so.
06:59 And Romualdez's answer to the order of Ma'am Gonzalez.
07:02 After Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa left,
07:09 some congressmen approached him and said that they were just following the order
07:13 that is why they were being asked to sign for the People's Initiative.
07:16 But he did not know the congressmen who told the story,
07:19 but the one who told them the story was the one who ordered them to do so,
07:24 House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
07:26 "Boss, please forgive us. We are just following orders.
07:29 Our speaker has orders.
07:33 We just followed the order. They said they were just following orders.
07:37 It's hard to blame them, but if it's true, you can really blame them.
07:44 Why? Because you just followed the order.
07:47 You are also being blamed for that order.
07:50 That's what the congressman told me.
07:52 That's what he told me.
07:55 I don't know who he told me."
07:57 Under the People's Initiative,
07:59 the Charter Change is being pushed for joint voting
08:02 or the Senate and the House of Representatives will vote together
08:05 instead of separating for changes to be pushed under the Constituent Assembly.
08:10 The senators are being alarmed because they are fewer than the congressmen,
08:15 so it's possible that they will lose their votes.
08:18 In information that reached Dela Rosa,
08:21 the signatures in Davao City are being issued by Claim Stub.
08:25 "Someone is issuing in Davao City,
08:29 they are signing and issuing Claim Stub.
08:34 Claim Stub.
08:36 Signature. Claim Stub.
08:39 Maybe for what? For Tupad or AX?
08:43 If they will release AX, they will have Claim Stub.
08:46 This is the prop.
08:48 How much is it?
08:50 I don't know. Maybe P3,000.
08:52 Maybe P100. P100 pesos."
08:56 When the Speaker of Mualdes was invited,
08:59 he refused to obey the People's Initiative.
09:03 "That's Senator Patok talking.
09:06 I don't know what he's talking about.
09:09 He has not mentioned any congressman.
09:11 I don't respond to him."
09:14 "So you didn't give any orders?"
09:16 "No orders."
09:18 Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva
09:21 called on the public to report the people who disobeyed
09:24 in exchange of signatures for the Charter Change.
09:27 "If you were beaten,
09:29 or you want to complain and get your signature back,
09:34 don't be afraid to complain.
09:36 Send a post, video, picture or screenshot
09:41 of the texts of the leaders."
09:43 Villanueva gave a statement that there is no money
09:47 that should be used in the exchange of signatures
09:49 for the People's Initiative.
09:51 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales,
09:54 for 24 Hours.
09:56 "The MMDA's owners are the ones who are in the way
09:59 of the vehicles on the sidewalks and sidewalks of Caloocan and Pasaay.
10:03 They are not afraid of any kind of violence.
10:06 That is what Ian Cruz is talking about."
10:08 The MMDA Special Ops Strike Force
10:15 is continuously taxing the vehicles on the airport road in Pasay.
10:18 "Hey, taxi!
10:20 Get in the car, get in the car!"
10:22 "Wait, wait!"
10:24 "Sir, sir!"
10:26 "Sir, sir!"
10:28 "Sir, sir!"
10:30 "Sir, sir!"
10:33 Some riders were stopped by illegal parking
10:39 in front of a fast food chain
10:41 because of a stop on the sidewalk.
10:43 A pedicab and a jeep were also pulled.
10:46 "Sir, I'm here in the motorcycle, I'm not getting out."
10:51 "No parking, no waiting."
10:52 "I'm not getting out."
10:53 "You should have put this aside first."
10:55 In Edsa Rotonda, near the Taft Avenue,
10:57 this rider was still discussing,
11:00 but he was still stopped
11:02 and other motorcycles were also stopped
11:04 because it is prohibited to stop and wait there.
11:06 In Tramo, a car was stopped
11:10 by the MMDA because it crossed the sidewalk.
11:13 The car was also not saved
11:16 when the car was stopped
11:17 under the ramp of Naia X.
11:20 In Naia Road,
11:22 an unattended car was stopped
11:25 outside the designated parking area.
11:27 "I'm disposing of it, I'm selling it."
11:30 "It's hard when there's no parking."
11:36 In Kalaokan City, in Dagatan Avenue,
11:40 residents were leaving their belongings
11:42 or selling things on the sidewalks,
11:45 like chicken cages.
11:49 The sidecar was also not missing
11:52 and it needed a bolt cutter
11:54 to get out of the post.
11:56 Before it was left in the truck,
11:58 a woman ran to the side crying.
12:00 "I'm not getting out."
12:04 "I'm not getting out."
12:06 "I'm not getting out."
12:08 "I'm not getting out."
12:10 "I'm not getting out."
12:12 "I'm not getting out."
12:13 "We're here, it's an insult."
12:15 Aside from motorcycles,
12:17 the tricycles parked on the outer lane of the road
12:20 were also ridden on the tow truck.
12:22 Some cars were also tagged as illegal parking.
12:25 Others were stopped.
12:27 On the C3 Road,
12:30 Pierre was followed by the MMDA.
12:32 The intention of the MMDA here on C3 Road
12:35 is to catch and tag the trailer truck drivers
12:39 who are just lying around on the side of the road.
12:41 But one of the drivers is Tila Minalas
12:43 because he gave a license,
12:46 which was proven by the MMDA.
12:49 And with his original license,
12:52 he cannot drive this huge trailer truck.
12:56 So what will happen now,
12:57 he will not only get a ticket,
12:58 but he will also be towed,
13:00 including his trailer truck.
13:01 In total,
13:03 he was tagged as a truck driver.
13:05 Two were pulled by the MMDA.
13:07 For GMA Integrated News,
13:09 Ian Cruz was arrested for 24 hours.
13:11 The Land Transportation Office
13:15 helped the authorities
13:16 to catch the non-consolidated traditional jeepneys
13:22 when they entered the city in February.
13:24 But aside from that,
13:25 another person was remembered by the office.
13:28 And it was Joseph Moro.
13:30 No one is allowed to drive the traditional jeeps
13:37 that are parked in Manila.
13:39 This is one of the many routes that are parked
13:43 even if not all the jeeps here are not consolidated.
13:47 Many students and workers drive here.
13:51 The problem is that in February 1,
13:53 LTO and LTFRB will ban
13:55 the unconsolidated traditional jeepneys that are traveling.
14:00 Until January 31,
14:02 the provisional authorities that they hold
14:05 will be arrested
14:06 because they will be considered as collorum.
14:09 This is a problem for the students.
14:11 For the tricycle, no choice.
14:14 The cost is higher compared to the jeepneys.
14:17 The DILG warned the barangay
14:19 that the cancellation of the franchise
14:22 and the ban on the travel
14:24 of the unconsolidated traditional jeepneys will be carried out.
14:27 But the barangay drivers said
14:29 that they will still travel.
14:30 This area, sir, from their travel,
14:33 this is almost the center.
14:36 These are the tricycles that are waiting there.
14:40 They are waiting for the bus.
14:43 It's not over yet.
14:44 The problem is that they are also temporarily
14:48 because they are raising the cost of the jeepneys.
14:52 Hopefully, the local government can do something.
14:55 They can provide vehicles for our commuters.
15:02 The jeepney driver, Christopher,
15:04 has been traveling for 20 years
15:06 and has a 14-year-old daughter.
15:08 He's afraid of losing his job starting February 1.
15:11 In this terminal,
15:12 the driver has more than 40 jeepneys
15:15 in the same situation.
15:17 I don't know if I can finish my studies.
15:20 Of course, my husband doesn't have a job.
15:22 This is the only thing that I know,
15:24 to earn a living, to drive a jeepney.
15:26 The LTFRB is adamant that there is a chance
15:29 for the consolidated jeepneys to become members
15:31 of the established cooperatives or corporations.
15:34 I don't want that.
15:36 Our trip here is not that strong.
15:39 If you get a unit here,
15:42 you will lose.
15:44 We are also poor.
15:45 We cannot afford to lose that.
15:47 The Land Transportation Office,
15:49 or LTO Chief Atty. Vigor Mendoza,
15:51 helped the regional directors as a preparation
15:54 for what will happen in February 1.
15:56 But the LTO is still calling
15:58 for the jeepneys that are not consolidated yet to chase them.
16:01 Aside from impounding, there is also a prison sentence
16:04 that will be from 6 to 12 years in prison.
16:07 But aside from that, the LTO is also preparing
16:10 for the possibility of a lack of vehicles
16:12 in some places if their arrest will be tight.
16:16 Like Cubao, so that we know what support facility
16:20 we can still coordinate with LTFRB DOTR
16:25 that can give a special permit.
16:28 We don't want to enforce and then there will be no vehicles of people down there.
16:32 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,
16:34 for 24 Hours.
16:36 Vice President Sara Duterte announced
16:41 that she will run for the next election.
16:43 But it's not clear for which position,
16:45 especially for the term to end in 2028,
16:49 as Vice President.
16:51 For GMA Regional TV, I'm Jandi Esteva.
16:54 One Minute Now.
16:55 One Minute Now.
16:56 Plano sa Politika is one of the things
17:00 Vice President and Deputy Secretary Sara Duterte
17:02 announced for her visit today
17:04 to Barangay Magugalyara in Davao City.
17:06 In her statement, Inday Sara announced
17:09 that she will run for the next election.
17:11 I believe that Mayor Pase
17:16 or the Mayor-in-Chief,
17:19 Compt. Marco Molong, promised
17:21 that they will follow and they will be slow.
17:23 They will be slow in the next election.
17:29 So I promise you,
17:31 I will be slow in the next election.
17:38 Duterte did not state
17:40 for which position she will run.
17:42 But the next election is in 2025
17:45 for Senators, Congressmen, and local officials.
17:48 Her term as Vice President will end in 2028.
17:52 We are trying to clarify
17:54 her statement in the Vice President's office.
17:57 Duterte also stated her failure
17:59 to comply with the People's Initiative
18:02 to amend a provision in the Constitution.
18:06 It is an insult to the ordinary and poor Filipinos.
18:13 It reflects the character of politicians
18:18 who have the chance of vote-buying during elections.
18:22 It is very bad that people do that.
18:32 They need to be encouraged
18:37 to sign the People's Initiative.
18:40 She also emphasized the help of the barangay
18:44 and those who are involved in the calamity.
18:46 They need to be encouraged
18:48 and not to send people who have evil intentions.
18:52 For GMA Integrated News,
18:54 Jhandi S. Esteban,
18:56 for 24 Hours.
18:58 Back to back to back,
19:04 the project and commitments of Sanya Lopez this 2024.
19:08 Aside from her two mega-series of publications,
19:11 she also did not forget her personal advocacy for the environment.
19:15 Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.
19:17 Certified Eco-Warrior,
19:22 Sparkle star Sanya Lopez
19:24 is proud to be a part of a fun walk
19:26 for the advocacy campaign
19:28 One Less Plastic a Day.
19:30 This is a campaign to spread awareness
19:32 about reducing, reusing, and recycling plastic
19:36 from beauty and cosmetic products.
19:39 The recycled plastic will be used as school chairs
19:42 that will be donated to chosen beneficiaries.
19:45 We are not only beautifying,
19:47 but we are also beautifying our environment
19:50 and we are taking care of our environment
19:52 which is important.
19:53 Every brand should be aware of this kind of situation
19:58 in the world that we really need to take care of.
20:01 Not only is Sanya feeling blessed with the campaign,
20:03 but she is also looking forward to her next job
20:06 because it's just the beginning of the year.
20:09 They just finished shooting the movie "Playtime"
20:12 where she will be joined by
20:14 Sian Lim, Colleen Garcia, and Faye Lorenzo.
20:17 She also started taping for Encantado Chronicles Sangre
20:21 where she will be joined by the OG Sangre
20:25 and New Generation Sangres.
20:27 They also started taping for the biggest family drama series of the year
20:33 "Pulang Araw"
20:34 with Barbie Forteza, David Licauco, and Alden Richards.
20:39 Because the setting of the story is a Japanese occupation era
20:42 and her role is a vaudeville dancer,
20:44 she was really prepared.
20:46 We are still adjusting a bit, Barbie,
20:49 but we are excited for this project because it's really beautiful.
20:54 And our other castmates also started already
20:58 so it's really exciting.
20:59 Aubrey Carampel, updated to showbiz happenings.
21:04 After more than a decade,
21:07 the local council released the former mayor of Makati,
21:11 Elenita Binay, for the Graft and Malversation case.
21:15 This is in line with the controversial million peso supply contract
21:19 for the equipment of the Makati Hospital
21:21 that did not pass the public bidding.
21:24 And Mark Salazar was the one who was affected.
21:29 The former mayor of Makati, Elenita Binay, is in a wheelchair
21:33 in Sandigan Bayan 4th Division
21:35 for the handling of the Graft and Malversation case
21:39 along with some of her former officials.
21:42 This is in line with the 9.9 million peso supply contract
21:46 for the equipment of the Makati Hospital
21:49 that was approved without public bidding in 2001
21:53 and violated the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
21:57 After more than 10 years,
21:59 Binay was acquitted
22:01 because the prosecution did not prove that she was guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
22:06 Her accused colleagues were also acquitted,
22:09 except for two.
22:11 Conrado Pamintuan and Jaime De Los Reyes were found guilty in the Graft case
22:16 that pushed the supplier for the project.
22:19 The court ordered them to be jailed for 6 years and 1 month
22:24 up to a maximum of 8 years.
22:26 We are trying to get the payment from Pamintuan
22:29 but De Los Reyes said that they will appeal.
22:32 That's how it is.
22:33 You will appeal, of course.
22:37 Yes, our lawyer will take care of it.
22:39 You are just waiting.
22:42 You are waiting until you are left.
22:44 No comment.
22:47 The court allowed them to have professional liberty
22:50 while they were appealing in the court.
22:52 We tried to get Binay's statement
22:55 but it was just a smile on the camera.
22:57 It's done. It's finally done.
23:00 How do you feel, Mayor?
23:05 It's okay, Mama.
23:06 Oops.
23:07 Are you okay?
23:09 Yes.
23:10 For GMA Integrated News,
23:13 Mark Salazar was jailed for 24 hours.
23:17 Two airport police officers who were arrested yesterday
23:23 for crossing the EDSA busway were arrested.
23:26 The MMDA also conducted an investigation
23:28 reminding the public to follow their instructions
23:32 to avoid being arrested.
23:34 This is what Marie Zumal is talking about.
23:36 This is a new incident that happened yesterday
23:43 because of the unauthorized crossing of the EDSA busway.
23:47 In the video,
23:48 we can see a police officer who introduced the airport police.
23:51 Wait. Wait. Why are you doing this?
23:54 The MMDA enforcer who was with them was the one who was arrested.
23:58 But the airport police forcefully prohibited the enforcer who was with him.
24:02 Based on the initial investigation,
24:04 the MMDA enforcer flagged down the unauthorized crossing
24:09 of the EDSA busway.
24:11 The two vehicles that the airport police introduced went down.
24:15 It's our process.
24:17 We have to ask for the license of the vehicle that we are apprehending.
24:22 Apparently, our two apprehended personnel don't want to be recorded.
24:28 Based on the video that is circulating right now,
24:32 we can see that the enforcer tried to upload the phone twice.
24:37 The MMDA and Manila International Airport Authority is now conducting an investigation.
24:43 But the MMDA said that the two airport police were on official duty
24:47 and were removed from their positions.
24:49 Based on the investigation of the Department of Transportation,
24:52 aside from the buses that operate on the EDSA carousel,
24:55 only five of the government's top officials are allowed to cross the busway.
24:59 The corresponding emergency vehicles can also cross,
25:02 such as ambulances, fire trucks, and Philippine National Police.
25:06 But even the airport police, the ones introduced to the busway,
25:10 Our airport police department is not included in the list of those who can cross,
25:17 not obeying traffic rules and regulations.
25:19 According to the MMDA, the MMDA enforcer is still on duty.
25:24 The result of the investigation is expected to be released as soon as possible.
25:29 It will be submitted to the Department of Transportation
25:32 to decide what punishment will be given to those who broke the law.
25:38 The authorities repeatedly remind you not to cross the EDSA busway
25:44 if you are not among the authorized to cross.
25:47 Aside from being punished, you may also be disgraced.
25:51 If we are to say that our buses are very big,
25:56 there are big chances of having an accident and that is what we are avoiding.
26:01 For those who will be arrested, you will be fined P5,000 to P30,000.
26:07 You may also be suspended until you are removed from your license
26:10 and will be put back under the Road Safety Seminar.
26:13 For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali for Tutok 24 Horas.
26:18 We are back to the weather.
26:24 The temperature dropped a bit compared to last week.
26:28 It has reached some parts of the Luzon.
26:30 But according to the forecast, it will increase again.
26:33 The cold weather will continue in the next few days especially in the evening.
26:39 Because of the cold, there is still a gale warning in the northern Luzon
26:43 and the risk of a small sea vehicle is still high.
26:47 According to the Metro Weather, there is still a chance of rain in Apayao, Cagayan and Isabela.
26:52 There will be heavy rain in some places so be alert for possible flooding or landslide.
26:57 There are also scattered rains in other parts of Cordillera, Central Luzon, Quezon and Mimaropa.
27:02 In Metro Manila, there is a chance of rain tomorrow especially in the afternoon.
27:07 There is almost no rain in Visayas except in some parts of the Aklan, Samar and Leyte provinces.
27:12 In our hearts in Mindanao, compared to the previous day,
27:16 there will be less widespread and heavy rain.
27:19 That is just my guess.
27:21 In some places in Sulu, Archipelago, Northern Mindanao and Sok Sargen.
27:24 Former President Rodrigo Duterte condemned the scattered rain
27:31 as a replacement for a signature to amend the Constitution.
27:35 If you start to amend a constitution and you start by buying the signatures of the Filipinos
27:44 for it to start the process, you will have to pay a fee.
27:51 There is no election.
27:54 It does not only leave a bad taste in the mouth actually.
27:59 It's almost, how would I term it, repugnant.
28:03 A disgraceful act.
28:05 I am not in favor of that.
28:07 They should just stop it.
28:08 In an interview on a social media account, the former president said
28:14 that the rain in Davao City is heavy.
28:18 Duterte also said that the money he is giving is being made to make it easier for the Chacha
28:24 and to keep those in power in their positions.
28:28 He also said that the current Constitution and democracy in the country
28:32 gives the public the power to lock officials in their positions.
28:37 The end result of this is that a new constitution, if ever, it will just destroy the nation.
28:45 It will open the floodgates of political abuses and the perpetration of powers.
28:53 Whoever they are, they want to continue.
28:57 The camera again denied the proceedings of the Charter Change or the amendment to the Constitution
29:03 in the upcoming session today.
29:05 Along with that, protests were held by the judges here.
29:08 Tina Panganiban Perez was there.
29:11 In her message in the opening of the session of Congress earlier,
29:20 House Speaker Martin Romualdez again helped the Charter Change.
29:23 According to Romualdez, the Chacha will benefit the people and the country
29:29 because it will help the government to address the changing conditions.
29:34 Along with the provisions that should be addressed,
29:37 the provisions for the economy and the entry of foreign business.
29:41 It is critical that we facilitate the entry of foreign capital and direct investments into our economy.
29:48 And it is imperative that we re-examine the Constitution and carefully scrutinize pertinent economic provisions
29:55 to eliminate the barriers that restrict potential growth.
29:59 There are some provisions in the Constitution that limit or prohibit foreign ownership in some industries.
30:05 This was proposed by the resolution of both Houses No. 6,
30:09 which was submitted to the Senate and the Camera's plan of action.
30:13 This signals a strong sense of unity and purpose.
30:16 The Congress of the Philippines now acting as one body will eventually fulfill the call
30:22 for a reformed, responsible, and result-oriented constitutional framework.
30:28 House Majority Leader Manuel Jose Dalipe also hopes that the resolution of both Houses No. 6 of the Senate
30:37 will be approved as soon as possible so that he can end the speculations that Romualdez is behind the People's Initiative.
30:43 This is a decisive step for the amendment of the Constitution.
30:48 As the Congress session reopens,
30:55 some groups protested against the Chacha in the Camera's gate this morning.
31:01 Some Congressmen also warned against Chacha that if the process starts,
31:07 there might be some amendments that will be approved, aside from the economic provisions.
31:12 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Pangaliban Perez, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
31:19 The Sinulog Festival in the Queen City of the South was a joyous occasion.
31:25 Today, the performers who gave their lives for the celebration were honored and witnessed.
31:32 This is what Luan May Rondina of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Bistak.
31:39 The celebration in Sinulog in Cebu City was not held at the Grand Showdown yesterday.
31:45 Because today, the winners of Sinulog-based and Free Interpretation category had a repeat performance.
31:57 From the Siamese who fought,
31:59 the Banawan Cultural Group of Barangay Guadalupe won the Ritual Showdown Sinulog-based category.
32:07 Their performance was deservedly deserved the 3 million pesos cash prize.
32:14 3 million pesos were also given to the Sinulog Free Interpretation category
32:22 by the Sinulog Festival of the City of Negros Oriental.
32:25 They were followed by a first-timer contingent from Dinagat Island,
32:29 which is a tribe that is a member of the Performing Arts Guild.
32:32 The third place was Lumad Basakanon,
32:35 the fourth place was Banay San Nicolasnon,
32:38 and the fifth place was Tribo Mabulukon.
32:41 According to the police, the Sinulog Festival was held in a joyous atmosphere of 3 million pesos.
32:46 On the security side, we are thankful that the police were able to arrest us.
32:54 Sinulog activities were held in a happy atmosphere.
32:58 Even when we started, like January 10, for the Walk with Jesus,
33:04 we were able to conclude our activities with the grand festival.
33:09 For GMA Regional TV, I'm Balit Ang Bizdak,
33:13 and GMA Integrated News,
33:15 Lu and Miron Dina,
33:16 for 24 Hours.
33:20 Some farmers have already felt the effects of the El Niño.
33:24 It seems that they will continue to harvest,
33:26 especially since more farmers will be affected in the coming months,
33:30 according to the forecast.
33:32 And Maki Polido was able to report.
33:34 The farmers of several towns in Nueva Ecija are already suffering from drought.
33:42 According to the group of farmers there,
33:44 the water for irrigation of rice fields is already lacking,
33:47 so the rice plants died.
33:49 The rice fields are already dry without irrigation,
33:51 so it is not fertile anymore.
33:53 According to the forecast,
33:54 one province of Nueva Ecija is likely to experience drought
33:58 from January to April.
34:01 Because of the strong El Niño that we will experience this year,
34:04 the provinces that were predicted to experience drought
34:10 until the expected weakening of El Niño in May are increasing.
34:13 According to our forecast, more areas will experience drought
34:23 in the central and northern regions.
34:30 In the central region,
34:31 18% of rice production in the country is from the north,
34:34 5-7% from Nueva Ecija.
34:37 That's why the agricultural group of SINAG
34:40 predicted the decline of rice production.
34:42 No matter what import you do,
34:44 the price will not go down because the price of rice is high globally.
34:48 Before, we import from Php 460 to Php 500 per metric tons.
34:55 Now, the global price is cheap, Php 600.
34:58 But the Department of Agriculture is advocating
35:01 that their program is sufficient,
35:02 so the rice production will not go down.
35:05 Will the rice production go down because of the El Niño?
35:08 According to our report, no.
35:11 We planted more hybrid rice.
35:14 But even though other places are experiencing dry spell,
35:17 some farmers are already having a hard time.
35:20 In Batangas, the problem of farmers is that
35:22 they are trying to plant tomatoes in the water.
35:25 We can't plant tomatoes in the dry season.
35:28 Why? We will plant tomatoes in March,
35:31 then it will rain in May and June.
35:33 We don't have any choice.
35:34 Even if we water it, we don't have any choice.
35:36 Because the water level in the river is decreasing,
35:38 the rice growers in Dagupan, Pangasinan
35:41 are also affected by the dry spell.
35:43 Their growth is affected when the water level is low.
35:46 Because their food is not enough.
35:48 The water level of the dams is also expected to go down.
35:51 It is possible, according to the report,
35:53 that the water supply to the houses will decrease.
35:56 We are trying to get the National Water Resources Board
36:00 to prepare in case the water in Angat Dam is not enough
36:04 for the houses in Metro Manila and other provinces.
36:09 But they have no solution for now.
36:11 The Local Water Utilities Administration
36:14 is ready to manage the water districts in the province.
36:18 We are preparing for the worst-case scenario
36:20 that there might be a rationing that can happen.
36:24 But for now, there is still enough supply for our people.
36:28 So, hopefully, by now,
36:30 they will save and not be happy with the water.
36:33 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, 24 Hours.
36:37 The Interior Secretary explained to a DILG official
36:43 regarding the prohibition of the barangay officials
36:46 from signing the People's Initiative.
36:49 An election lawyer in Comalec
36:51 has already stopped the acceptance of signatures.
36:54 Find out why in the interview of Jonathan Andal and Sandra Aguinaldo.
37:02 In the last instance of the Comalec's Commission on Elections
37:05 in the People's Initiative,
37:07 153 legislative districts signed the People's Initiative
37:12 for the amendment of the Constitution.
37:18 That's more than half of the total 254 legislative districts in the country.
37:24 But when the election lawyer Romulo Macalintal called,
37:28 Comalec stopped the acceptance of signatures
37:31 because according to the Supreme Court ruling,
37:34 the petition must be read by the people before it is signed.
37:38 That's why the signature cannot be first than the petition.
37:42 But Comalec's answer is that they are just following the guidelines here.
37:47 Comalec has no choice at this point.
37:49 Number one, it is our ministerial duty.
37:52 It is obvious that they will not sign until the formal petition is filed.
37:56 So let's see, and it should be the obligation of the proponent to file the petition
38:02 to convince Comalec that our countrymen really understood their signature.
38:09 DILG Secretary Ben Ur Abalos clarified that there is no doubt
38:14 that it is prohibited for barangay officials to sign the People's Initiative.
38:18 Abalos made the statement after DILG Undersecretary for Barangay Affairs Felicito Valmosina said
38:24 that it is prohibited for barangay officials to sign for the Charter Change.
38:29 What he said about these statements is just his opinion.
38:34 This is not the official stand or position of DILG.
38:39 I told Usec Valmosina to explain to me where he got that.
38:44 Abalos added, "There is a Comalec and Bank Resolution
38:48 that says that the elected barangay officials are exempted or not included
38:52 from the political activities under the Omnibus Election Code.
38:57 But to clarify how far the barangay officials are exempted,
39:01 DILG wrote to Comalec."
39:03 It means that it is allowed, but again, they cannot use government resources.
39:08 Let's just wait, Comalec will answer this.
39:11 Abalos also contradicted what Valmosina said,
39:14 that barangay officials are not allowed to comment on the People's Initiative.
39:18 Abalos said that it is the right of each one to give their opinion.
39:21 DILG will also ask Comalec if barangay halls can be used as a venue for the signature campaign.
39:28 Secretary Abalos has not yet said if there will be a disciplinary action against Undersecretary Valmosina.
39:35 Let this serve as a warning to all our Undersecretary officials.
39:41 Because it is hard, people are afraid of being confused on the ground.
39:45 It seems like what is happening now is confusing, they are confused.
39:48 For GMA Integrated News, I am Jonathan Andal.
39:51 Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok 24 Horas.
39:54 GMA Prime will bring a strong night to the mind-blowing scenes to watch
40:04 in Love Die Repeat and Asawa ng Asawa Ko.
40:07 We look forward to the events that will leave bitter memories
40:12 until the deja vu of encounters.
40:15 That is Nelson Canlas' story.
40:17 [Intro]
40:19 Ultimate star, Jeneline Marcado, is starting to learn how to ride a big bike.
40:25 She is fond of this stigmatic pastime after the pandemic.
40:30 That is why she learned how to ride and her recent joyride in Tanay.
40:35 Her chaperone is also with her, Dennis Trillo, on a scooter.
40:41 After I gave birth, I thought I had time and I could do it, my CS was good,
40:47 I could study.
40:50 So she gave me, "Okay, that's okay, we'll just go with you to your training."
40:54 So I had a chance to train in a school.
40:57 I always have someone with me.
40:59 If not in a Vespa, in the car, we have a radio where we talk.
41:08 I can hear him, "Oh, there's a car behind, look at the side mirror."
41:13 "Oh, you're fast, slow down."
41:16 Jen also told about the expectations that she met in the GMA Prime series Love Die Repeat.
41:24 Later, will Angela be able to tell her character, Angela,
41:28 about her love for Bernard, played by Sian Lim?
41:33 Will Angela tell her parents about the Deja Vu that happened to her?
41:40 Will Angela wake up and go back to Petra and repeat the same events?
41:48 This week, our first week, she was still wondering, she was still not sure.
41:52 But now, it's like it's synced with her, "Why is it repeating again?
41:56 Is it just me or is the sun really repeating?"
41:59 Later, they'll know what's really happening.
42:01 Is this more exciting?
42:03 Yes, Kuya Nelson.
42:05 Because this first loop, not just this, there's more.
42:10 But I won't say it, they need to watch it so they'll know what's more.
42:15 The hosts of the Prime series, My Husband's Wife, are getting more heated.
42:21 Later tonight, Kristi will play Jasmine Curtis-Smith in the members of Kalasag.
42:28 But...
42:29 [gunshots]
42:31 Watch out for the events that will leave bitter memories in the newlyweds.
42:37 Where will these unexpected events lead?
42:42 Watch out for the answers in the back-to-back series,
42:46 My Husband's Wife and Love Die Repeat in GMA Prime.
42:51 Nelson Canlas, updated in Shoebiz Happenings.
42:57 And that's the news for this Monday.
42:59 I'm Vicky Morales.
43:00 I'm Pia Arcangel.
43:02 For a bigger mission,
43:03 for a wider service to the country,
43:06 I'm Emil Sumangil.
43:07 From GMA Integrated News, the news authority of the Philippines,
43:11 we learned 24 hours.
