Transcript

00:00 The government gave the last three-month extension for Jeepney Drivers

00:05 which has not been consolidated for the PUV modernization.

00:10 They are also allowing the creation of their own corporation.

00:14 Joseph Moro is a witness.

00:16 [Music]

00:19 The Jeepney Drivers are resting in this terminal in Nagtahan

00:23 after the President gave the unconsolidated traditional jeepneys

00:28 to the corporations or cooperatives.

00:31 At least, we can sleep well now, within three months.

00:36 According to the Department of Transportation,

00:38 because of the extension, there will be no more delays in February 1.

00:42 Those who did not reach the December 31 deadline to consolidate

00:47 are now allowed to create their own corporations

00:52 and they will not be forced to join others.

00:55 The Jeepney Drivers prefer this.

00:58 We will not give our lota anymore.

01:01 We will be the only ones to consolidate if needed.

01:04 They have not yet made a decision,

01:06 but if they will be a cooperative or a corporation,

01:09 they will get locally manufactured modern jeeps

01:12 that are worth from P700,000 to P750,000

01:16 which is lower if the government reduces the subsidy of P200,000

01:21 for each unit of modern jeep.

01:23 We can afford that, compared to the 2.8 million that is too rich.

01:27 That is for the rich, that is for the masses.

01:30 But the Jeepney Drivers also said that the three-month extension

01:35 is still not enough to raise funds to replace the unit.

01:38 The DOTR said that it will take two years to replace the unit

01:41 of the Jeepney Drivers who consolidated.

01:44 Although the Pistons are happy that the extension was given,

01:48 they are still prepared to stop the program to study

01:52 its aspects like the restoration of the franchise.

01:55 The Pistons want the single operators to be allowed

01:59 and not to restore the individual franchises that are not allowed,

02:03 said the DOTR.

02:04 Unlike now, the DOTR and LTPRP are playing a cooperative.

02:09 This is what we are saying,

02:11 monopolizing the services of our citizens.

02:14 It will be contrary to the concept of consolidation.

02:19 Here in consolidation, we will be very firm.

02:24 We will require consolidation.

02:26 The DOTR said to the Jeepney Drivers who are in the cooperation,

02:31 that the Jeepneys will not automatically be taken by the corporation

02:34 as their members that can be used as private vehicles.

02:38 The DOTR said that the extension is the last deadline

02:41 that the government will give.

02:43 And even if there are still those who are not in the cooperation,

02:45 after April 30,

02:46 the PUV Modernization Program will be implemented.

02:50 As of now, in Metro Manila,

02:52 only 3% of the registered Jeepneys are not consolidating.

02:57 For GMA Integrated News,

02:59 Joseph Morong is your witness.

03:00 The price of rice in Bicol has already exceeded P75 per kilo

03:07 according to a group.

03:08 Witness, Bernarda Treas.

03:10 [Music]

03:15 P67 per kilo of rice in Nagas City.

03:18 But according to the Bantay Bigas group,

03:20 P75 per kilo of rice in other places in Bicol has already reached P75.

03:25 P60 is the lowest.

03:27 In Mindoro, a rice producing province,

03:30 P58 to P60 per kilo of rice.

03:33 The government always mentions that

03:35 our production is high in stock,

03:38 but the price of rice is still high.

03:41 It's still rising.

03:42 We expect that it will go down

03:44 because our production is rising.

03:47 We have importation.

03:48 In this store in Quezon City,

03:50 the price of rice is also P60.

03:53 It's hard because before,

03:56 if we buy just P1,000,

03:59 it becomes P1,300.

04:01 According to the Bantay Bigas,

04:03 the consumers do not feel

04:05 that the Department of Agriculture is trying to find solutions

04:08 to lower the price of rice.

04:10 When it's built, it will fix the post-harvest facilities,

04:14 it will fix the cold storage.

04:17 They are already doing that.

04:19 They are not rooting out the reason

04:22 why we are continuously running out of food.

04:26 The Department of Agriculture said

04:28 that the government is trying to help the farmers

04:31 by providing rice, water, and machinery

04:35 to increase the production of rice.

04:38 Last year, the Philippines recorded

04:41 more than 20 million metric tons of rice.

04:43 Imported rice is expensive.

04:45 P600 to P700.

04:48 The mandate of the DA is really to have

04:51 more productivity in our farms.

04:54 To increase the local production of rice.

04:57 According to the Department of Agriculture,

04:59 due to the effect of El Nino,

05:01 the production of rice can decrease this year.

05:04 But the government is working on ways

05:06 to ensure that the rice is sufficiently supplied in the country.

05:10 We're talking with Vietnam

05:12 for the five-year framework agreement.

05:14 But we are also diversifying the sources of rice

05:18 beyond Vietnam and our neighbors.

05:22 For GMA Integrated News,

05:24 Bernadette Reyes, your Saksi.

05:27 Three hours ago, a passenger vessel

05:30 arrived in Laos and the Misamis Oriental.

05:32 It was out of power when it arrived

05:34 from Cebu City and traveled to Cagayan de Oro.

05:37 According to a passenger,

05:38 they were brought there at 7 a.m.

05:40 by the Philippine Coast Guard in Pierre.

05:43 The Cagayan de Oro City Council is asking for clarification

05:46 on what happened, especially last year,

05:48 when the ship also capsized.

05:50 According to the PCG, they are investigating.

05:53 The Philippine Ports Authority and the owner

05:55 of the ship are responsible for the accident.

05:58 A former House Speaker has confessed

06:03 that House Speaker Martin Romualdez

06:05 is behind the People's Initiative

06:07 regarding the Charter Change.

06:09 Romualdez first denied ordering the People's Initiative.

06:13 Saksi, Tina Panganiban Perez.

06:16 Martin Romualdez is just his initiative.

06:24 Despite his earlier denials,

06:26 House Speaker Martin Romualdez

06:28 is still being instructed by the former Speaker,

06:31 Congressman Pantaleon Alvarez,

06:33 who is behind the People's Initiative.

06:37 He has already collected evidence

06:39 on what the Charter Change assistance

06:42 that he will use in his petition plan

06:45 against the People's Initiative.

06:48 While they are making the signatures,

06:52 I also documented it so that when the time comes,

06:56 I will be required to file a petition

06:59 in the Supreme Court.

07:01 Even Senator Coco Pimentel,

07:03 who is convinced that the Speaker

07:05 has something to do with the P.I.,

07:07 called Romualdez's cousin,

07:09 President Marcos.

07:11 Why would the President allow

07:13 his administration to be influenced

07:15 by this issue,

07:17 a People's Initiative,

07:20 which is being used by members of Congress

07:24 as a mode for the people?

07:26 The President should have nipped this in the bud.

07:28 We are trying to get Romualdez's signature,

07:31 but he has repeatedly denied

07:33 ordering the People's Initiative.

07:37 So you didn't give any orders?

07:39 No orders.

07:41 Albay First District Representative Edsel Agman

07:44 is studying how to file a petition

07:46 against the Comelec.

07:48 He is the one who is being accused

07:50 of buying the signatures.

07:52 On the other hand,

07:54 Talibon Bishop Patrick Daniel Parcon

07:56 and Bilaran Bishop Alberto Uy

07:58 are urging the public

08:00 not to deceive the P.I. signatories.

08:03 One of the P.I. supporters

08:05 denied that the Speaker has anything to do

08:08 with their search for signatures.

08:10 The Speaker has no direct involvement.

08:13 As you will recall,

08:18 he is just letting this process go.

08:23 And let the natural force of it

08:29 take its course.

08:31 They are also ready to face

08:33 petitions against the People's Initiative.

08:36 For GMA Integrated News,

08:38 Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.

08:41 Meanwhile, in the dry spell,

08:44 El Nino's son

08:46 was able to get water from a well in Pangasinan.

08:49 Jasmine Gabriel Galvan,

08:51 GMA Regional TV,

08:53 One North Central Luzon, is the witness.

08:55 Sometimes,

08:59 they were not able to get water from the well

09:01 that is used by the Mang Carlos family

09:03 in Barangay Maasin, Mangaldan, Pangasinan.

09:06 The water from the well

09:08 is what they use to drink,

09:10 wash and cook.

09:11 But this month,

09:12 they were surprised

09:13 because there was no water coming out of their well.

09:16 Even though their neighbor's well

09:18 is dry,

09:19 there was no water coming out.

09:20 They thought that this is the effect

09:22 of El Nino.

09:24 It's a big privilege for us

09:26 because that's what we get to drink.

09:29 Because there's no water in the well,

09:31 they are just asking for help from another neighbor

09:33 who has connections in Mangaldan Water District.

09:36 For now,

09:37 the local government is not facing any problems.

09:40 Only a small percentage

09:41 depend on wells or deep wells.

09:43 Most of the households

09:45 have a connection of water

09:47 from the water district,

09:48 while some have their own water source.

09:52 The LGU is also working with the water district

09:55 to help connect the water

09:57 to those who are far away.

09:58 The Mangaldan Water District said

10:00 that even though there's El Nino,

10:01 they will not face any supply problems

10:04 because there are additional pumping stations being opened.

10:07 If there are no pumping stations,

10:09 maybe you will just have to use your own tank.

10:13 Actually, one target of the water district

10:15 for the next 10 years

10:16 is to have everything connected.

10:17 For GMA Integrated News,

10:20 I am Jasmine Gabriel Galvan

10:22 of GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon.

10:25 Your Saksi.

10:27 Aside from the increase in wages

10:30 and additional benefits

10:31 that are being given to teachers,

10:33 some of the duties

10:34 will be removed

10:35 to focus on teaching.

10:38 That's according to

10:39 Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte.

10:42 Saksi, Sir Ivan Mayrina and Ian Crew.

10:45 President Bongbong Marcos

10:51 and Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte

10:54 were present at the presentation of the DFL

10:56 to the President

10:57 of the 2024 Basic Education Report.

11:00 In his letter,

11:01 Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte said

11:04 that the increase in wages

11:06 will be given to teachers

11:08 and other benefits

11:10 including overtime pay.

11:12 Historically,

11:13 for non-teaching tasks

11:15 performed outside their regular working hours,

11:19 teachers are only compensated

11:22 through service credits.

11:24 In the next budget cycle,

11:26 DepEd will be proposing a budget

11:28 that will enable us to grant overtime pay

11:31 to our teachers.

11:33 Tomorrow,

11:34 DepEd will issue an order

11:36 to remove administrative tasks

11:38 from teachers

11:40 and to focus on teaching.

11:43 It is said that

11:44 10,000 admin personnel will be required for this.

11:47 VP Sara also noted

11:48 that almost 4,000 classrooms

11:51 have been built

11:52 to address the shortage

11:54 and more than 6,000 more are being built.

11:58 As a result,

11:59 the President has asked his DepEd leaders

12:02 to buy,

12:03 or continue the reform

12:05 of the education system in the country.

12:07 He is in a hurry to compensate

12:09 for the damage

12:10 and construction of classrooms

12:11 in the country.

12:12 Now, teachers can no longer

12:14 use their help in education.

12:16 The President also specially mentioned

12:17 the teachers

12:18 who should increase their capacity

12:20 as the center of education reform in the country.

12:23 He also emphasized bullying in schools

12:26 and the global average

12:28 of incidents of bullying

12:29 in schools in the Philippines.

12:31 Every school will steadfastly stand

12:34 as a no-bully zone.

12:36 A sanctuary for diversity.

12:39 A resource center for teens.

12:41 A psychosocial first aid center.

12:43 A mental health nurture.

12:45 A bulwark against the drug menace.

12:47 A safe space for all.

12:50 And most important,

12:51 a safe space for our children.

12:53 For GMA Integrated News,

12:55 I'm Ivan Mejrina.

12:56 Ian Cruz is your witness.

12:58 Some cast members of Barbie

13:06 were dismayed by Oscar snub

13:07 led by star Margot Robbie

13:09 and director Greta Gerwig.

13:11 David Lecauco

13:13 will travel to Australia

13:14 for his idolized pop star.

13:17 Our show will be witnessed by Lar Santiago.

13:23 Our country is now a certified Swifterine.

13:29 And if 10 years ago,

13:31 David Lecauco watched Taylor Swift's concert

13:35 in the Philippines,

13:37 this time around,

13:38 his wildest dreams will come true.

13:42 He can now be enchanted by Tay-Tay

13:45 on the pop superstar's tour in Australia.

13:50 I'll be watching Taylor Swift's concert

13:52 even if I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan.

13:57 I'm a Swiftie.

13:58 I've been watching her since I was a kid.

14:01 Until now, I'm still a fan.

14:03 David will also be staying in the land down under

14:07 for a week with his family.

14:10 Game face on,

14:15 El Villanueva

14:16 for his afternoon prime series

14:19 "Makiling."

14:22 He participated in Jiu-Jitsu training

14:24 and is a co-star of Crazy 5

14:27 with Christopher Martin.

14:30 This is part of his preparation

14:34 for replacing his character,

14:37 Amira,

14:38 for the bullying of Crazy 5.

14:42 You'll see that he learned a lot

14:46 during the 6 years he was gone.

14:48 That's when I was most excited

14:50 and I was most excited to be a part of their show.

14:52 Talk of the town,

14:54 in Hollywood and online,

14:56 there's a snub in Barbie's movie

14:59 for some major nominations

15:01 in the 96th Academy Awards.

15:04 Even though Barbie has 8 nominations,

15:07 a satire on the female lead

15:10 who is recognized for her talent,

15:14 Margot Robbie is not nominated for Best Actress.

15:19 Even Greta Gerwig

15:21 was excluded from the Best Director nominees.

15:25 Ryan Gosling, who played Ken,

15:28 and Best Supporting Actor nominee,

15:30 were disappointed.

15:32 Barbie wouldn't have been successful

15:35 without Margot and Greta.

15:38 Even their co-star, Simu Liu,

15:41 was said to deserve to be nominated

15:45 for their return to the cinema.

15:49 For GMA Integrated News,

15:52 I'm your host, Lor Santiago.

15:56 Some netizens were shocked

16:05 by the viral photo of a cat.

16:07 It's so big

16:09 and weighs more than 8 kilos.

16:11 Let's take a look.

16:13 It's so cute.

16:18 Meow is small and can be carried.

16:21 Cats are perfect as pets

16:26 for many fur parents.

16:28 But if you think their cuteness is too much,

16:32 a Filipino pet in China is even extra-huggable.

16:36 Meet Little Perfect,

16:38 Christian Villote's British Shorthair cat.

16:41 No cheating or editing in the photos.

16:44 It's heavy in cuteness

16:46 and weighs 18.2 pounds.

16:48 It's as big as 8 kilos.

16:51 It's big because it has the genetic blueprint

16:54 for being a massive cat.

16:56 It's bloodline is big.

16:58 Little Perfect is 3 years old.

17:01 And his British Shorthair partner,

17:04 Lef Colleen, is 7 years old.

17:06 She's 19 pounds.

17:08 It's not the biggest British I've seen.

17:11 I've seen bigger than mine in some shows.

17:14 You can visit some shows.

17:16 Christian says his 4 babies are friendly and affectionate.

17:21 And they eat normal dry cat food.

17:25 Will my British cat grow this big?

17:28 You can check the parents' basics on your pedigree.

17:32 Check their faces, body size, and coating.

17:35 Your British cat will grow the same as their parents.

17:39 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
