00:00 More than 40 times, the ships of the China Coast Guard were attacked by the Philippine Coast Guard.

00:06 Based on the monitoring of the PCG,

00:08 the patrols were conducted on the day of the incident in Bajo de Masinloc.

00:12 Although there was an incident of harassment in Bajo de Masinloc,

00:16 the latest resupply mission in Ayungen Shoal is still peaceful.

00:20 Here is the news from June Veneration.

00:25 A ship of the China Coast Guard almost reached the mouth of the BRP Teresa Magbanua.

00:31 In another video, it seems that the two ships are not moving

00:35 and are waiting for someone to move away first.

00:39 This is just one of the several monitored by the PCG

00:42 on the same day of the maritime patrol in Bajo de Masinloc

00:45 since February 1,

00:47 when the Filipinos were far away.

00:51 But after more than a week of surveillance,

00:53 more than 40 times were followed by our ships of the four China Coast Guard vessels

00:59 3105, 3302, 3063, and 3064.

01:06 The ships of China also made four attempts to manipulate and obstruct the ships of the PCG.

01:14 The nearest distance is more than 170 meters.

01:19 The CCG vessels even crossed in front of the BRP Teresa Magbanua.

01:24 According to the PCG, it is against the Convention on the International Regulations

01:28 for Preventing Collisions at Sea.

01:31 The PCG vessels also radioed to the ships of China

01:34 to inform them that according to the international law, our ships are going there.

01:39 China has not yet made any statement regarding this.

01:42 But on February 5, China said that they followed a PCG ship

01:47 from Bajo de Masinloc.

01:49 But the National Security Council said that what China said is not true.

01:54 Unlike what the PCG vessels experienced in Bajo de Masinloc,

01:58 the last ROREM mission of the Philippines was well-organized in Iong Insol.

02:02 Although there were also presence of ships of the China Coast Guard and Maritime Militia,

02:07 no dangerous maneuver was carried out.

02:10 And instead, it seems like they were escorted.

02:13 Actually, one Coast Guard and one Maritime Militia were close.

02:17 They proved that when our resupply vessel was close,

02:20 they lowered two rigid hull inflatable boats.

02:23 Okay.

02:24 They followed us and were escorted inside.

02:27 The Philippine Navy said that this maneuver was synchronized with their press statement.

02:33 They will say that we were escorted and escorted.

02:37 But the Philippines should not relax.

02:40 Even though the actions of the ships of China were changed.

02:43 They changed during our last ROREM mission.

02:46 But we cannot ignore their character, their long-term plan.

02:49 They will really occupy the entire South China Sea,

02:52 where the West Philippine Sea is just a part.

02:54 China has not yet announced anything about this.

02:56 This is the first news.

02:58 Jun Veneracion for GMA Integrated News.

03:01 The last number of people who were killed in the landslide in Masara Maco Davao de Oro was 54.

03:08 This is based on the data of the Maco Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office as of 7 p.m. last night.

03:14 63 people were still found.

03:16 They also brought to the Intensive Care Unit of Davao Regional Medical Center

03:20 some survivors including a 3-year-old boy who was found alive last Friday.

03:27 The Davao de Oro Provincial Government is now prohibiting the construction of houses or any structures

03:33 in the area of the landslide as per the recommendation of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau.

03:39 The NCAA Season 99 Juniors Basketball started this Saturday.

03:52 The first team to face off was the Red Robins and the Araleano Braves.

03:56 The Red Robins won the score 82-78.

04:00 In the next game, the Profetua Junior Altas defeated the LPU Junior Pirates 89-75.

04:08 The Litran Squareys defeated the JRU Light Bombers 38 points in the score 102-64.

04:17 The San Sebastian Staglets won the game against the San Beda Red Cubs 83-79.

04:23 The EAC Brigadiers defeated the LSGH Greenies 78-75.

04:32 So Ms. Chika, on Monday morning, Bea Alonzo and Dominic Roque signed that their marriage will not continue.

04:51 In an Instagram post, the two said that it's not easy but it was a mutual decision to end their engagement.

04:58 They wanted to have a longer time to think and pray.

05:03 But there were already a lot of speculations, questions and insults.

05:07 Bea and Dom are asking for an understanding and they hope that the painful words they are throwing at them on social media will stop.

05:15 They are also asking for privacy.

05:18 A fire broke out in a market in Bagubantay, Quezon City.

05:25 Here's the first live report of Allan Gatos of Super Radio DZW. Allan.

05:31 Oscar, the fire was put out in the line of Abra Market and Abra Street, both of Congressional Avenue in Quezon City this morning.

05:40 According to some of the officials, they heard a loud bang followed by a loud fire.

05:46 They saw it in a kitchen in a food stall in the market.

05:50 Because of this, people inside the market were reading the news after the loud fire broke out.

05:56 Others were in a stand-still and couldn't do anything but cry because of the fire.

06:02 The firefighters in Abra Market responded quickly.

06:05 They were called to the first alarm. But at 5.38 in the morning, the fire was declared under control.

06:13 After 6.02 in the morning, the fire was declared out.

06:17 The BFP is still investigating the fire.

06:21 Meanwhile, at this time, the traffic lane in a corner of Congressional Avenue was opened.

06:27 Earlier, it was occupied by fire trucks. Oscar.

06:31 Thank you very much Allan Gatos of Super Radio DZW.

06:36 Some government officials are expected to bring their experts in listening to the Senate today on the charter change.

06:44 Here's the latest news. Jonathan Andal.

06:46 Senator Cheese Escudero is confused. Does he really want to have a charter change?

06:55 If yes, what particular provisions do they want to change?

06:59 The Executive Branch still doesn't have a solid position on what they will change and whether they need to change it or not.

07:08 President Marcos' geet this Thursday.

07:11 I want to make it clear. This administration's position in introducing reforms to our Constitution extends to economic matters alone.

07:21 Are those strategically aimed at boosting our country's economy? Nothing more.

07:32 But Senator Escudero is still confused.

07:35 He came to me and said that he's in favor of the charter change but he will favor economic provisions.

07:43 He doesn't have a clue on what economic provisions he wants.

07:48 The President has said that foreign companies should be allowed to own land,

07:55 aside from some critical sectors like power generation and media, which should not be influenced by foreign entities.

08:02 Aside from this, he will allow foreign companies to own land.

08:07 Senator JV Ejercito joined the unity ride against Chacha.

08:11 This is what we should focus on, the price of rice, food, inflation, our infrastructure, energy, healthcare, and other services.

08:21 A congressman appealed that senators should support President Marcos' proposal to amend the Constitution

08:28 so that foreigners who want to move to the Philippines can be allowed to enter.

08:32 The minority of the House, according to Chacha,

08:34 is being monitored by the government and the people's initiative in the provinces is not stopping,

08:40 even though Comelec has stopped the process.

08:43 There are still some in Central Luzon, some parts of Tarlac, Pangasinan, and some parts in Mindanao.

08:55 The Senate subcommittee is continuing to listen to the discussion with Chacha.

09:00 Experts are expected to visit different sectors and government officials.

09:05 This is the first news. Jonathan Andal for GMA Integrated News.

09:10 Travel is life.

09:11 It's in your hands if you can go to more countries using the Philippine passport.

09:17 How is the global ranking of the Philippine passport?

09:20 Live from Naia, we have the first news, Niko Wahe.

09:24 Niko.

09:29 Susan, good morning.

09:30 Travel is one of the things that many Filipinos want to do now,

09:33 but we are limited because of the visa requirement depending on the country we are going to.

09:39 On the other hand, the power of the Philippine passport has increased.

09:43 Where is the dream destination of many Filipinos?

09:49 Japan, sir.

09:50 In Canada.

09:52 California.

09:53 Mali, Maldives.

09:54 All of those countries are within reach, but there is one requirement, visa.

09:59 A Philippine passport holder can go to only 68 countries visa-free.

10:06 In fact, the Philippines is now in the global passport ranking made by a citizenship and residence advisory firm.

10:13 Now in 2024, the Philippines is already the 78th country in the world that has the ability to visit other countries without a visa.

10:21 Who doesn't want a hassle-free trip?

10:25 If Marvin is the one who will ask, doesn't he feel the strength of the Philippine passport?

10:30 If we compare it to our neighboring countries like Singapore, which has the strongest passport, we are only left with ASEAN.

10:40 Singapore is the top one on the list since last year.

10:44 But this year, it is tied at first place with France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain.

10:51 I hope all, said Rebecca of OFW.

10:54 Many people come to me without a visa.

10:57 Their passport is the only thing they can go to.

11:02 That is the big question for me.

11:04 We cannot enter other countries without a visa.

11:10 Tristan thinks that the reason is the track record of the Filipinos.

11:15 That is the mindset of other people.

11:17 The Filipinos go there because they think they are hard-working.

11:22 They don't go there to be a tourist.

11:26 That's why they are so stingy.

11:35 Susan, wherever you go, whether it's far or near, there's always a Filipino.

11:40 Live from Pasay City, I'm Nico Juarez for GMA Integrated News.

11:46 We will continue to open the voter registration of the 2025 midterm elections.

11:52 We will talk to the Commissioner on Elections, Chairman George Garcia.

11:56 Good morning Chairman Garcia. This is Maris and we are live on UNAM Balita.

12:00 Good morning Maris and good morning to our fellow countrymen.

12:04 I will start. How was the kickoff of voter registration in Calayaan Islands?

12:09 How was your trip to Calayaan Islands?

12:11 Thank you very much Maris. You are right.

12:14 Today we declared that it is the National Day of the Filipino Voters.

12:18 This is the start of our voter registration.

12:21 At the moment, all offices of our local government are open to receive applications for registration.

12:28 In fact, to show that we can go to all and any part of our country,

12:34 today, as you mentioned, the officials and other officials of the Commissioner on Elections

12:40 will go to Pag-asa Islands, Calayaan Group of Islands.

12:44 This is the start of our voter registration.

12:47 We will also have a satellite registration anywhere in Baclaran, in the church itself.

12:54 We also have one in our local government office.

12:58 But those who want to register, want to transfer their registration or want to exchange any data with their registration,

13:05 they can do that in our local government office.

13:08 We also have 166 participating malls nationwide.

13:12 Chairman, you didn't experience any avarice when you went to Calayaan Islands?

13:17 Actually, we were just going there. We were just riding a military plane.

13:21 Later, some of our countrymen will register in Pag-asa Islands.

13:29 We want to highlight that even in places like Tawitawi, Bacilan and Sulu,

13:35 we will go there to get more than 3 million voters who we want to register from February 12 to September 13.

13:45 So it's true that we expect to add 3 million new voters to register?

13:52 That's right, Ma'am Maris.

13:54 We are only estimating that 3 million will be registered in our country.

13:59 But we still have Filipinos abroad who we expect to register more because for the first time,

14:06 we want to have internet voting for our countrymen abroad.

14:12 Because it's the first day of registration, what are the things that you will monitor?

14:18 Of course, we will monitor the double or multiple registered voters.

14:23 At the same time, those who are using company IDs, we will not allow that anymore.

14:30 We discovered that in the past registrations,

14:33 companies are using ID to register even if they are not from the places where voters are registering.

14:41 At the same time, we will monitor our registration in Banc Samoro because for the first time,

14:47 we have an election for the Banc Samoro Parliament that will be held in 2025.

14:53 Chairman, aside from what you mentioned about the company ID,

14:56 what are the changes in the system of registration now?

14:59 Ma'am Maris, our countrymen will not need to fill up an application for registration.

15:09 Now, they will only need to accomplish one page.

15:13 At the same time, we have a registration anywhere program.

15:18 That means, wherever you are, as long as you have a registration anywhere mall,

15:23 if you want to register in the province, you can register here in Meta Manila or in other provinces.

15:29 You can register in any part of our country.

15:32 It's easy.

15:33 We will process your application. It's easy.

15:36 Has Comelec decided to return the voters' ID?

15:40 Yes. We will discuss it on Wednesday because we want to make sure that we will return voters' ID to our countrymen abroad first

15:50 because they are not that many.

15:52 Until next time, we will issue voters' ID for our countrymen here in the Philippines.

15:59 Of course, it depends on the budget that the Congress will give us.

16:02 Chairman, will Comelec continue with the plan to void the entire list of voters in the country?

16:08 We will proceed with that, Ma'am Maris.

16:11 We will talk to the Congress about whether we can, if possible, in 2026,

16:16 we can annul the entire list of voters.

16:18 We will persist for at least two months to make sure that our lists are very clean

16:25 when it comes to the presidential and vice presidential elections in 2028.

16:29 All right. Thank you very much.

16:32 Comelec Chairman George Garcia, good morning.

16:34 Take care when you go to Kalayaan Islands.

16:36 Good morning. Thank you very much.

16:39 As for the voter registration in the Comelec offices,

16:44 the Register to Anywhere program will be held today.

16:47 Live from Manila, we have the first news.

16:49 We have Gilmer Apresto. Gilmer.

16:55 Susan, good morning. We are here in Comelec Aroceros in the city of Manila.

17:00 If you can see behind me, there are already many residents who have already lined up

17:05 to register for the first day of voter registration for the election of 2025.

17:11 It is still dark.

17:16 There are already people who have lined up here in Comelec Aroceros in Manila

17:20 for the first day of voter registration for the election of 2025.

17:24 The first in line is Jennif Lotenia with her one month old baby.

17:30 It's only past 4 in the morning when they went here.

17:34 They chose to go early to avoid the increase of people who will register.

17:39 I haven't been able to work yet because I'm still young.

17:44 I will return to work. I don't need to absentee from work.

17:51 Along with the opening of voter registration,

17:54 Register to Anywhere Program or RAP is also planned today.

17:58 It is a line that makes the process easier for the voters to register.

18:02 With the help of RAP, they can register in malls, schools or any private and public places.

18:09 Because of this, it is expected that there will be up to three million new voters.

18:14 According to the latest data of Comelec, there are already more than 67.8 million registered voters in the country.

18:22 Meanwhile, Susan, Comelec will open its doors from 8 am to 5 pm every Monday to Saturday.

18:35 Voter registration will last until September 30, 2024.

18:39 While registration will end under RAP until August 31, 2024.

18:46 That is the latest from Manila. I am Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.

18:51 It's Valentine's Day, just two nights.

18:55 What percentage of Filipinos are hashtagging #pumapagibig?

19:00 And what gift do they want to receive?

19:03 My street, hear it, Bam Alegre. Bam?

19:08 Oscar, good morning. We are here in Dangoa, Manila with Pamu, one of the sellers.

19:12 Pamu, good morning. How active is the market here in Dangoa?

19:16 Actually, sir, it was more active last February 12 because there were more people last time.

19:23 Now, there are still no more. I hope there will be more because we just sold it cheaply.

19:27 But if it is not active, is your love life active?

19:30 I am studying well, sir.

19:32 Thank you, Pamu.

19:34 So, that question, how active is the love life, that was asked by a survey.

19:39 The theme is Valentine's Day. Here is the street, hear it.

19:42 Love is in the air, especially since Valentine's Day is coming.

19:52 One of the people who are extra in love on Valentine's Day is Warren Mayores who is thankful to his girlfriend.

19:58 I am happy. Of course, if there is a problem, I can tell my girlfriend.

20:02 If there is a problem in my family, I can tell my girlfriend.

20:09 So, girlfriend, what is your message?

20:12 I love you.

20:14 Like Warren, 58% of 1,200 respondents of the survey of social weather stations said they are happy with their love life.

20:24 Others are just hoping for all. 23% said they can still be happy and 19% said they don't have a love life.

20:32 But who needs a love life?

20:34 It can be single and happy if the young ones, Lads Asunio and Mark Logan, will ask.

20:40 I don't have other person but I am content.

20:43 Like this, now I am making it allow to stroll or appreciate those I am going to.

20:49 I don't have a love life but I am happy. Super.

20:52 Eventually, to my friends and family.

20:55 Survey says, what are the first gifts that the heart wants for Valentine's Day?

21:01 According to the National Social Weather Survey, men prefer clothes or any gift from the heart.

21:08 While women prefer money and flowers.

21:12 So, boys, you know it.

21:13 We asked some of the heart's lovers, money or flowers?

21:18 I like money. My mom is quick. Flowers, she put effort to buy.

21:26 Flowers. I have a small business so I love flowers. I also want to receive them.

21:41 For 1200 respondents, 300 in Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

21:46 Plus minus 2.8% sampling error for the national percentage.

21:51 This is the street heat from Dangawa, Manila.

21:53 Bamela Gre for GMA Integrated News.

21:55 Love is in the air.

21:59 In some Valentine's Day specials in the country.

22:01 In Taguig City, love at the park is a hit for those who go to the park.

22:06 It's a great dating spot for those who...

22:09 [music]

22:14 Before Valentine's Day, Tom Rodriguez fell in love.

22:22 [music]

22:28 The actor's heart is glowing for his comeback performance on All Out Sundays.

22:33 Tom danced and sang to Jason Derulo's song "Ride and Solo".

22:38 His fans are eager to receive him.

22:41 Last month, Tom returned to the Philippines two years after he went to America.

22:45 Following the separation of Stolen Life star Carla Abeliana.

22:49 Meanwhile, before the day of the hearts arrives,

22:56 some of the fans already fell in love with a pre-Valentine's Day show in a mall in Manila.

23:01 [cheering]

23:06 The cast members of different heart shows were happy.

23:10 Like the ones who are in the GMA Prime series, Love Die Repeat,

23:14 which stars Sian Lim and Valine Montenegro.

23:17 The stars of Asawa ng Asawa Ko, which stars Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Martin Del Rosario, also performed.

23:24 The cast of the famous revenge drama, Merton Sa Rosa, Royce Cabrera and Baninay, also has a song number.

23:33 The cast of My Guardian Alien, which stars Christian Antolin, Josh Ford, Caitlin Stave and Rafael Landicho, also performed.

23:41 Jason Abalos, Zonya Mejia, Annalyn Barro and EA Guzman also performed for Lilette Matias, attorney at law.

23:49 Some of them also shared their plans for Valentine's Day.

23:53 My mom and my grandma, so they're always looking forward to that, eating out.

23:58 We're just at home, we're just at home. We don't want to be with the Valentine rush.

24:07 And it's not right to just go out on Valentine's Day and celebrate and tell your loved ones that you love them.

24:15 Feb 12, we'll have an early dinner where we had our first date.

24:22 I'll just date my mom, maybe just a family day, Valentine's Day.

24:26 Maybe the day after Valentine's Day, we'll just celebrate or just have dinner.
