00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:12 [Music]
00:15 Good evening, Paul Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:19 The mass for Ash Wednesday was brought home from a tragedy
00:24 in a parish in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
00:27 The second floor of the church collapsed suddenly
00:30 because of the falling of the people on top and the addition of the people below.
00:35 Many devotees were still in line for the mass,
00:38 so more than 50 were injured.
00:41 One of them was completely revived.
00:43 And it was live on Joseph Moro.
00:47 Joseph.
00:48 Mel Vickie Emil, the Ash Wednesday tragedy.
00:54 A 80-year-old woman, who was also a member of the church choir,
00:59 was killed and injured.
01:00 More than 50 people were injured.
01:01 The reason for this is that the flooring was being repaired
01:06 and it was given to the heavy-handed people who wanted to be crucified this Ash Wednesday.
01:12 In the middle of the dark mass this Ash Wednesday,
01:19 in a parish in Bulacan, something suddenly collapsed.
01:23 And...
01:24 The second floor of the parish of San Pedro Apostol
01:37 in San Jose del Monte collapsed at 6 in the morning.
01:40 People and chairs were all lying on the floor,
01:43 even though the collapsed part of the church was still intact.
01:46 The people who were in the church were all in their own clothes.
01:49 The woman was barely breathing.
01:52 From the second floor, people were falling down,
02:00 unable to stand the chaos.
02:02 It is hard to believe the tragedy of the parishioners who were outside the church.
02:17 Jean Cruz was placed there when the second floor collapsed.
02:20 There were so many people in line to be crucified.
02:45 Erlina de la Cruz, who was also on the second floor,
02:47 was also there when the floor collapsed.
02:50 She was injured in her hands and feet.
02:53 The wood fell.
02:55 The wood fell.
02:58 When the wood fell, I saw a lot of people down there.
03:04 I said, "I'm sorry, I'll be right there."
03:10 I was crying, "My daughter, where are you?"
03:17 80-year-old Celoneta Morales was also performing her duty as a member of the choir
03:23 who ran to the hospital in Balacang.
03:27 I was scheduled for an operation,
03:31 but she was so weak that she couldn't breathe.
03:36 It was painful.
03:38 It was painful for me as a child.
03:41 52 other people were injured and brought to different hospitals.
03:46 The church's second floor collapsed
03:50 because of the flooring that was being repaired.
03:54 The collapse was slow because if not,
03:57 more people might have been disgraced.
04:00 The parents' house was marked by the broken wood of the second floor.
04:06 The church was built 30 years ago in 1994.
04:09 We were caught unaware.
04:11 I told them, "I'll remove all of this. I'll open all of this."
04:15 Because of the tragedy, the church was not massed until the city's inspection was completed.
04:20 The structure and the old churches were taken care of.
04:25 We'll see if it can be massed.
04:33 Vicky, the victim, Bishop Dennis Villarrojo, has been brought to the hospital.
04:38 He has also inspected the churches in Bulacan
04:43 because of the increase in the number of people in the churches.
04:48 Thank you very much, Joseph Morong.
04:51 More than 100 police officers were shot in the first two months of the year.
04:57 10 police officers were involved in a raid where millions of pesos were found but not declared.
05:05 Jun Venera shot was found.
05:07 The CCTV video shows the money that was stolen from the police
05:16 when a condominium in Paranaque was raided last September.
05:22 There are people with the raiding team who were given paper bags.
05:27 Someone was taken out of the room.
05:30 Someone was forced to move the CCTV camera.
05:35 After the raid, police officers were seen taking down boxes.
05:41 But the only thing they were supposed to take down were guns based on the warrant they had.
05:46 More than 4 million pesos were declared by the police in their report.
05:50 There are 27 million pesos left.
05:53 When you bring pieces of evidence, physical evidence outside the premises that you have raided,
06:06 without the benefit of documenting it, you call it robbery. It's plain robbery.
06:13 After a thorough investigation by the NCR Police Office,
06:17 10 police officers were dismissed from the raid, 7 were demoted and 17 were suspended.
06:23 The investigation also found robbery and planting of evidence.
06:28 The firearms were established to be planted.
06:31 During the investigation, someone told us that they were ordered to plant it.
06:40 Clearance from Malacanang is still being waited for
06:43 before the disciplinary proceedings against the two suspects can start.
06:47 The former chief of the Southern Police District,
06:50 Police Brigadier General Roderick Mariano and Police Colonel Charlie Cabradilla.
06:56 We are still trying to get the police's evidence.
06:59 The PNP said that the action against the police who carried out the questionable raid
07:04 proves that they are seriously cleaning their premises.
07:08 More than 30 police officers were dismissed from the raid in the first two months of the year.
07:13 To the perpetrators, this is a warning to them
07:19 that the leadership of the PNP will not hesitate to dismiss them from the raid.
07:26 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jon Van Aran, 24 Hours.
07:35 In the wake of the Senate's investigation into the amendment to the Constitution
07:40 through the People's Initiative,
07:42 some senators' attention was turned to the ACAP or Aid for the Deficit.
07:48 They fear that this is included in the possible use or what kind of punishment
07:52 to get a signature for the CHACHA or Charter Change.
07:56 The Department of Social Welfare and Development or DSWD
08:00 will implement the program in accordance with the General Appropriations Act.
08:04 But Senator Aimee Marcos is wondering
08:07 that the ACAP did not mention in the budget deliberations of DSWD.
08:12 She is the one who defended its budget.
08:15 In the Bicameral Conference Committee Report, it was said that it was already a bicameral.
08:20 It's not there. What we are aiming for is to give all social stipends.
08:26 Why did the ACAP suddenly disappear?
08:28 We all sign bicameral and the penalty is different.
08:33 That's where you will be surprised.
08:35 She also received information from an office in Camara
08:39 that said that the program is being implemented by someone like the ACAP.
08:43 All soft requests, meaning those that are in the form of AX,
08:49 will be passed through the Speaker's Office.
08:51 Others, we know those AX, but when they said ACAP,
08:58 I was surprised and I said, "What is that ACAP?"
09:01 GMA Integrated News is also trying to get the panic of House Speaker Martin Romualdez
09:07 about the Senator's allegation.
09:09 DSWD said that the ACAP is a fund for the so-called "near poor".
09:15 This is the sector of society like the minimum wage earners
09:18 that are not yet considered poor but are likely to be affected
09:22 because the economic impacts can easily be affected,
09:25 like the extreme inflation.
09:27 This also includes those who have graduated from the four-piece or Pantawid Pamilang Pilipino program
09:33 that needs help so they won't go back to being poor.
09:37 They are happy about the inclusion of the ACAP program in the General Appropriations Act.
09:43 Of course, if your budget is added, you will be happy.
09:48 We welcome this program when our department's budget is added.
09:54 The so-called "near poor" or minimum wage earners,
09:58 why are we looking at them?
10:00 Because of their status from "near poor" that above the poverty line,
10:10 they can easily fall into poverty.
10:13 House Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzalez Jr. pointed out that
10:18 the Senate By-Camp report of the national budget containing ACAP was signed by Sen. Marcos
10:24 and was circled with the copy of the report he showed.
10:28 They approved it. In fact, Senator Ayme signed this committee report, this By-Camp.
10:34 They stopped from speaking against or criticizing what they have approved
10:41 unless they tell us now that voted yes without reading the budget or at least the conference committee report.
10:51 Clearly, last December, the By-Camp Conference Committee met twice
10:58 and discussed the ACAP program of DSWD.
11:03 This program, before our senators destroy it,
11:09 we should not do that.
11:11 Today, congressmen called on senators to stop the accusations and slander against them
11:19 and let the love for the country be free.
11:22 You say you want to amend these economic provisions,
11:27 if there is a will, there is a way.
11:30 So, show the love and let love win.
11:34 If I am the senator, I will listen to the president
11:37 because that is our Valentine's gift to him.
11:42 In addition, the speaker is still ready to talk to the senators any time.
11:49 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez.
11:53 Sandra Aguinaldo, for 24 Hours.
11:57 Love does not have to be expensive.
12:01 She proved that it is necessary to be romantic on a budget
12:07 in the famous Dangwa Flower Market in Manila, where Bernadette Reyes is.
12:12 Enrico hired Dangwa to DIY bouquet of flowers.
12:20 It is already saved, priceless, and can be considered as a gift because it is A for effort.
12:26 It is expensive to make it here, so I learned how to make it.
12:32 Liam is also practical, instead of fresh flowers, he will give handmade paper flowers to the bride.
12:39 It will last longer.
12:42 Just like your love?
12:44 After you use it, you can hide it immediately so you can save it for next year.
12:50 This rose has a different color.
12:54 You don't need to choose a color, everything is already there.
12:57 They say that love is not measured in material things,
13:01 but why do many of us still buy flowers every day?
13:06 It is not based on love, but you feel what kind of flower you will give to him.
13:12 There is no price, you can give it to the parents of the flower, this is Valentine's Day.
13:19 But wait, why are there 3 bouquets in this one?
13:24 There are many things to give.
13:26 We need to give to our parents and to the mother of our girlfriend and girlfriend.
13:31 The Manila Police District also gave flowers to the people who pass by Dangwa.
13:36 Joy is one of them who is happy, especially her husband.
13:40 I am happy because I feel Valentine's Day even though we are LDR.
13:48 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, 24 Hours.
13:53 Before some people go on a date this Valentine's Day,
13:58 many Catholics went to the churches for the Ash Wednesday,
14:02 the day of the beginning of the Christmas season.
14:05 And Maki Pulido went there.
14:07 HHWW or Holding Hands While Walking,
14:14 Ruby and Wilfredo are getting married today, because of the double celebration they held.
14:19 Aside from Valentine's Day, it is also their 21st wedding anniversary.
14:23 And because it is in front of Ash Wednesday, the couple went on a date in the Church Of Christ of Latter-day Saints.
14:29 Our priority is to serve and thank our Lord God,
14:34 rather than going on a date, eating at the restaurant.
14:37 The day of the beginning of the Christmas season is called the Day of the Heart and Ash Wednesday.
14:41 It is a time to deepen and anchor our relations, romantic or not, to the love of the Lord.
14:48 At the end of the day, it is about God's ultimate sacrifice and love.
14:55 The devotees also joined the Church Of Christ.
14:58 According to the Church, now in Quaresma, it is 3 a.m. to pray, to attend and to do works.
15:04 So it is better to make the celebration simple for the day of the hearts.
15:08 On Wednesday, the Catholics are offering the Holy Mass.
15:12 According to Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincola,
15:16 it is an old tradition that says "May it be forever" but it cannot be found on earth.
15:19 May it be forever here in the world, because what is here on earth is forever.
15:30 For me, it is the salvation of the world.
15:35 There is forever, but where?
15:40 Forever is the blessing from heaven.
15:47 And this is the reason why the dust is like a cross that we will lay on our heads.
15:56 The devotees also visited other churches in the province.
16:01 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido was there for 24 hours.
16:06 The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center is also investigating
16:11 the possible hacking cases that may be related to the various bomb threats spread on Monday.
16:17 Salima Rafran was there.
16:19 The list of bomb threats spread on Monday reached 118.
16:28 From schools to government agencies and private offices.
16:33 42 of them were in Metro Manila, according to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center or CICC.
16:40 This is entirely under the control of the PNP.
16:43 We cannot let this be left to our own devices.
16:46 These kind of incidents are being taken seriously by the PNP and other law enforcement agencies.
16:51 The Philippines is continuously cooperating with the Japanese authorities,
16:55 especially when a well-known hero, Karasawaraw, sent an email.
17:00 According to the Philippine CICC, this is a case of a stolen identity that they are trying to hide from the Japanese authorities.
17:08 If he says that he is not the one, then who sent it?
17:12 Who are the people, individuals or organizations that control that account?
17:19 Our agency is focused on establishing that.
17:25 That's what we are helping to do together with the Japanese counterparts.
17:28 We are establishing who is behind this.
17:31 They are also looking for information on the data hacks that were committed.
17:35 Is this from one suspect or did many people send this?
17:42 Why are the people in these particular offices accepting this? Why not others?
17:48 For GMA Integrated News, Sanima Raffa, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
17:54 Good evening, Kapuso! Let's quickly check in on the latest updates on the Sherbet Happening.
18:03 Let's time out for a moment in preparation for Kelvin Miranda as Sangre Adamos to thank the fans.
18:11 He's been playing games and bonding.
18:14 He's been spending Valentine's Day with his family.
18:18 He's also been spending Valentine's Day with his beloved star, Thea Tolentino.
18:24 Despite that, Thea is grateful for her hard work because aside from the hit Afternoon Prime series, she also appeared in a movie.
18:32 The movie features the beautiful province of Ifugao, particularly the Banaue Rice Terraces.
18:41 Queen B is back because Beyonce has released her two new country-themed singles, "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages".
18:50 This is part of the much-awaited second part of her hit album, "Renaissance", released last year.
18:55 From CEO to actress era, real quick.
19:00 Lisa of Blackpink is also part of the jam-packed cast of the award-winning series, "The White Lotus".
19:06 This month, the taping of the third season of the series will start in Thailand.
19:11 The fight will be put aside for now.
19:15 That's what the leaders of the Senate and the House of Representatives agreed on in the midst of the chaos surrounding the rolling charter change.
19:22 They even hugged in the palace earlier.
19:25 And Ian Cruz was there.
19:30 On the 100th day of the presidential legal council, Juan Ponce Enrile in Malacanang,
19:36 Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri and House Speaker Martin Romualdez
19:42 held a handshake and hug.
19:44 The leaders of the House of Representatives are discussing the people's initiative for the charter change.
19:49 In front of the President?
19:50 Yes, in front of the President.
19:52 We said, "Let's work professionally. Stop the discussion."
19:58 The discussion earlier was not the last, which also happened on Valentine's Day.
20:04 Hopefully, next week for our secondary meeting,
20:06 that's what we promised.
20:07 In the Day of Hearts, we'll work together to pass legislation for our people.
20:12 And we'll put aside the fight for now.
20:14 Most of his fellow senators also want to move on.
20:19 But the Senate leader said,
20:22 It all depends on the members of the House.
20:25 Because they respond daily.
20:28 We don't respond daily.
20:31 Meanwhile, Zubiri said that the Senate's investigation into the people's initiative is not stopped.
20:38 Speaker Romualdez is trying to get the GMA Integrated News.
20:44 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is on the air 24/7.
20:50 Earlier, some of the people who were involved in the construction of the Maco Daval de Oro were buried.
20:55 The emotions of their relatives were overflowing.
20:59 The two places in Barangay Elizalde in Maco were started to be cleaned
21:03 to make relocation sites for the residents of Barangay Masara.
21:08 It is still possible to give the part of the mountain there,
21:11 according to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau.
21:16 The livelihood of some farmers is affected by the irrigation from Magat Dam
21:22 because the water level is decreasing in the middle of El Nino.
21:26 Claire Lacanilau, of GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon, was on the air.
21:31 Aside from this hydroelectric power plant,
21:37 the Magat Dam is also the first to get irrigation for a large part of Isabela, Cagayan, Quirino and Ifugawa.
21:45 That is the effect of the water level decreasing in this reservoir, now that it has El Nino.
21:50 For many farmers, like Maricel of Barangay Burgos in Ramon, Isabela,
21:55 the production of rice is decreasing because of the irrigation.
21:58 Because rice really needs water.
22:01 There are many who really need water so they prioritize irrigation.
22:04 As of now, the water level in Magat Dam has reached 180 meters above sea level.
22:09 According to NIA, although it is below their rule curve,
22:12 it is still enough to meet the water needs until March 20.
22:17 We extended it to March 20.
22:20 So until March 20, our cutoff is also from March 21 to May 7
22:30 to fix our facilities, our canals,
22:33 to implement our projects that we have allocated.
22:39 Aside from Magat, the water level in the reservoir of four other dams in Luzon is also decreasing.
22:45 Including Angat Dam, which supplies Metro Manila and other nearby provinces.
22:50 Baguia Dam, the water level in the reservoir of Ipo Dam in Bulacan and Binga Dam in Benguet is also increasing.
22:56 For Jimmy Regional TV, One North Central Luzon and Jimmy Integrated News, Claire Lacanilaw, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
23:06 President Bongbong Marcos gave a speech to Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile
23:12 for his 100th day.
23:14 Enrile thanked the President and Nakatutok, Maris, returned.
23:20 With President Bongbong Marcos,
23:26 he also gave a speech to Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile.
23:32 Former President Joseph Estrada, former First Lady Imelda Marcos,
23:37 and several senators and congressmen and members of the Cabinet,
23:41 and his family were also there.
23:43 President Marcos himself was the first to greet and give a bow to Enrile.
23:48 Smart as you, as clever as you, at 100 years old,
23:53 and as active as you are at 100 years old,
23:57 continuing to provide service to your country,
24:00 continuing to give good advice,
24:02 continuing to guide the way that the Philippines can go.
24:06 Enrile was a former Defense Minister of Marcos' father,
24:10 former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.,
24:12 before he left and joined the Marcos' in 1986 EDSA revolution.
24:17 But in his turn, Enrile thanked Marcos' parents for what they did for him.
24:24 He also said that the happiest part of his life
24:27 was serving in the administration of the late Marcos,
24:31 and now, under the leadership of PBBM.
24:34 In his 100th day, President Bombong Marcos
24:37 gave the JPE the Presidential Letter of Felicitation,
24:41 and in accordance with the Centenarian Act,
24:43 he will also receive a 100,000 pesos cash gift from the government.
24:48 For JM Integrated News, Maris Umali, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
24:53 [music]
24:58 My fellow countrymen,
24:59 it's literally cold starting on Valentine's Day in some places this morning.
25:03 Like in Baguio City where it's 14.8 degrees Celsius,
25:07 17.1 degrees Celsius in Latrinidad, Benguet,
25:11 and 17.8 degrees Celsius in Vasco Batanes.
25:14 But the weather in a large part of the country is also getting hotter.
25:18 The sun rises or the afternoon sun sets.
25:20 It's also possible that the weather is getting weaker
25:23 as the Easter Leaks continues.
25:26 For those who are chasing Valentine's Day
25:28 and are just about to go out with their special someone,
25:32 be careful because there's a chance of rain in some places.
25:36 Based on the data from Metro Weather,
25:37 there's a chance of heavy rain in Cordillera, Mindoro Provinces, Quezon, and Panay Islands.
25:43 For tomorrow, the possibility of rain will continue
25:46 in some parts of Northern and Southern Luzon,
25:48 as well as in some places in the Bicol Region.
25:50 There's also a chance of rain in Aklan, Capiz, Samar, and Leyte Provinces,
25:54 as well as in Negros Occidental.
25:56 The weather in a large part of Mindanao is clear,
25:59 except for the Caraga Region in Metro Manila.
26:02 The chance of rain is low,
26:03 but always prepare your umbrella if you're going out of the house
26:06 in case of sudden rain.
26:08 It's said that the chances of rain are more likely to weaken in the next few days,
26:12 but it's not yet a sign of the end of the season of rain.
26:17 It's said that it's still possible for it to grow again,
26:19 and that's what we'll continue to focus on.
26:23 A new coalition launched a few groups against the Charter Change.
26:29 Some of the members of the Church Organizations,
26:35 such as the CBCP, and some labor groups,
26:38 were among those who joined the so-called coalition.
26:39 The Head of the Episcopal Commission on Social Action, Justice, and Peace of the CBCP said,
26:44 "The motive of the Charter Change is questionable,
26:48 and the participation of the public is limited."
26:52 The National Council of Churches in the Philippines said,
26:56 "It will open the economy to the benefit of the foreigners,
27:00 who will make it harder for the poor."
27:04 Some of the coalition members said,
27:06 "The fight against corruption and other problems should be more focused."
27:11 The Charter Change advocates said,
27:14 "It will help the economy if it opens to the foreigners."
27:19 Love is truly in the air this Valentine's Day
27:27 for the lovers of the real-life couple and love teams.
27:30 Obrey Carampel will talk about the V-Day celebrations.
27:38 Valentine's Day is also Heart's Day
27:41 because it is also the 39th birthday of the global fashion icon,
27:44 Heart Evangelista.
27:46 Heart celebrated her birthday in Lubong, Balesin Island,
27:49 with her hubby, Senator Cheese Escudero,
27:52 family, and close friends.
27:54 In Jimmy's interview with Heart before he headed to Balesin,
27:58 he said, "It's just a simple and chill celebration."
28:03 But it's not just a birthday,
28:05 Senator Cheese will have a renewal of vows in Balesin
28:09 along with their wedding anniversary.
28:11 Just now,
28:12 the sweet moments of the couple were captured by their friends and relatives.
28:17 I know what home truly means,
28:19 I know what love truly means,
28:21 so it's different for me.
28:23 It's more meaningful.
28:25 I really feel like this is truly a celebration of unconditional love

31:16 Obricarampel, updated showbiz happenings.
31:21 Because it's Valentine's Day,
31:24 there are more and more dates
31:26 that will be affected by the traffic this evening.
31:28 But not only on Valentine's Day,
31:30 because in 2023,
31:32 the average travel time in Metro Manila increased by almost 1 minute.
31:36 And throughout the year,
31:38 the number of travelers wasted in Metro Manila
31:42 due to traffic increased by more than 100 hours,
31:44 which is equivalent to almost 5 days,
31:46 according to a traffic indexing website.
31:49 MMDA has a special announcement for Valentine's Day.
31:53 The special report is brought to you by Oscar Oida.
31:56 Roses are red,
32:02 Violets are blue,
32:04 but if your car is parked,
32:07 if you close the door,
32:09 you will reach it.
32:11 That's what made MMDA's Valentine's Day
32:14 to the people who are constantly parking their cars in Quirino Highway in Manila.
32:19 Valentine's ticket, sir.
32:21 It's okay, sir. I was just being a little too cocky.
32:23 We will get tickets for unattended vehicles.
32:26 We will put tickets and roses.
32:30 Valentine's?
32:31 We don't have a date, so...
32:33 We will give flowers.
32:36 The shops that are already occupied by the people in Maypaco, Manila, are also empty.
32:42 We know that.
32:44 So, we are really sorry because we are just looking for life there.
32:47 According to MMDA,
32:48 the public should understand that all of this
32:52 is done to alleviate the increasing problem of traffic.
32:57 A problem that is being faced every day by, like Edwin Sabroso,
33:02 an employee of an IT company in Taguig.
33:05 In the increase of traffic,
33:07 in the gas,
33:09 it's a complete defeat.
33:10 My 500 pesos in a day,
33:12 it will reach more or less 2 days.
33:15 Now, my 500 pesos will be less in return.
33:18 I need to top up 200 pesos.
33:21 But what he is really worried about is the 4 hours that he is missing every day
33:27 whenever he goes home and comes back from the market.
33:30 He is always looking for time to spend with his family.
33:34 You can't have breakfast all together because you have to go early.
33:37 In the afternoon, you are in a hurry because you know, BGC is traffic.
33:41 So, before you go out of BGC, it will take you 1 hour to go to EDSA.
33:45 So, you don't have time.
33:47 When you come home, you don't have time to spend with them.
33:50 In the 2023 traffic report of TOMTOM,
33:53 a Dutch navigation and digital mapping group,
33:56 Metro Manila is the number 1 in metro areas around the world when it comes to traffic.
34:01 In 2023, the average travel time was 25 minutes and 30 seconds
34:07 to travel 10 kilometers in Metro Manila.
34:11 TOMTOM said that it is slower by 50 seconds or almost 1 minute compared to 2022.
34:18 According to their study, the longest road in the past year is here in Quezon Avenue.
34:26 In that average travel time, the journey will take 59 minutes
34:31 in the entire length of EDSA from Rojas Boulevard in Pasay to Monumento in Caloocan.
34:37 It is something that should be done in just 23 minutes if there is no traffic
34:42 based on the 60 km/h speed limit of EDSA.
34:46 According to TOMTOM, the most severe traffic happened on December 15,
34:53 when the Christmas rush started, when it took more than 31 minutes to travel 10 kilometers.
35:01 In Metro Manila, the average travel time is 240 hours or 10 days in a year.
35:10 More than 100 hours or more than 4 days were wasted because of the traffic.
35:17 We are still trying to get a new permit for this MMDA,
35:22 but MMDA Acting Chairman Romando Artes has already raised the issue.
35:28 He wants to know what was the reason for the so-called rush.
35:33 They are still studying and working on a way to solve the long-standing traffic problem.
35:40 Based on the latest data from the Japan International Cooperation Agency,
35:44 4.9 billion pesos are being wasted every day due to the traffic in Metro Manila this 2020.
35:51 According to them, 9.4 billion pesos will be lost every day by 2027 if the traffic is not solved.
36:01 President Bongbong Marcos has also raised the issue of the GMA Integrated News.
36:07 He sees a good and effective public transport system as the solution to the traffic problem.
36:13 Like the construction of the North-South Commuter Railway System
36:17 that connects Bulacan to Cavite and the addition of ferry stations in Pasig River.
36:24 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida, 24 hours.
36:30 Ready now for her stage, Mother Era, Chris Aquino.
36:38 In an exclusive interview with Fast Talk with Boya Bonda,
36:42 she continues her fight for her children in the midst of autoimmune diseases.
36:47 Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.
36:49 In a rare opportunity, Chris Aquino launched an exclusive interview
36:57 that marked his 53rd birthday in Fast Talk with Boya Bonda.
37:01 The interview was live via Zoom from Los Angeles, California,
37:05 where Chris was being treated for his illness.
37:08 Chris admitted that experts discovered his fifth autoimmune disease.
37:14 Right now, they're classifying it as an autoimmune mixed connective tissue disease.
37:22 Falling under that boy is either SLE or lupus, or it could be rheumatoid arthritis.
37:33 Chris also has other diseases that affect his baby.
37:37 Hypertension is not just in the heart.
37:40 It's my right lung, boy.
37:42 They saw that I have small nodules and it's right.
37:48 If these are my lungs, you can see some scratch marks.
37:54 It's like I have some wounds.
37:56 You have this persistent dry cough.
37:58 And I had an adult onset, meaning now I'm old.
38:04 Now I have asthma.
38:06 Chris' other diseases also have an effect on his heart.
38:09 He believes that it's because he has a heart problem,
38:12 because of his father's side.
38:14 He will be admitted to the hospital on Monday and he will be given medication.
38:19 The next six months are crucial.
38:22 In the quickest way possible, what will happen in the next six months?
38:28 On Monday, I will be admitted to the hospital and we will be given a biological medication.
38:34 If this doesn't go away, I stand a very strong chance of having cardiac arrest.
38:44 As in, it might be sleep or whatever I'm doing,
38:49 the beating of my heart might just stop.
38:53 In the end, Chris thanked all the people who pray and continue to support him.
38:58 I know that every day, especially now that it's my birthday, God is just giving me a bonus.
39:07 So whatever days are left, it's a blessing.
39:15 But I really want to stay alive.
39:18 She also thanked her close friends and the GMA Network.
39:23 I want to say thank you also to you for making this happen.
39:27 Thank you to Mr. Duavit, Ms. Annette, and everybody in GMA.
39:32 You gave me a venue to explain to people what's happening.
39:39 Chris will do everything to make his children, Joshua and Bembe, live longer.
39:46 His sister, Vielle, also prayed before she joined the interview.
39:50 I hope someone fixed you.
39:52 I hope you're okay because I don't want people to pity you and I don't want them to be afraid that you'll die.
39:59 No, I refuse to die.
40:02 Okay. We hear you, Chrissy.
40:04 Yes, I will really force myself because my next chapter is to become a stage mother.
40:13 Okay.
