00:00 PhilHealth will open its doors to the public for the temporary collection of premium contributions from minimum wage earners.
00:07 Watch out for Rafi Tima!
00:09 Nelly and Ronel are working in a small restaurant.
00:16 Because minimum wage earners have a hard time making ends meet with their expenses,
00:20 they don't prioritize their health expenses.
00:24 Nelly, for example, did not become a member of PhilHealth because her salary will be cut.
00:29 That's too much.
00:31 Because where will we get 250 pesos?
00:34 To help people like them,
00:36 there is a campaign in the camera to temporarily stop the collection of contributions from minimum wage earners.
00:43 For now, the contribution of minimum wage workers in PhilHealth is P500
00:48 that they were distributed by their employer.
00:50 The remaining funds that the Congress gave to PhilHealth in 2022
00:55 is enough to pay the minimum wage worker contributions for the whole of 2024.
01:01 Last year, PhilHealth did not use the P39 billion in their fund that was allocated to premium services.
01:08 Although temporarily, when House Resolution 1595 is approved,
01:12 this time can be used to study if the contribution of minimum wage earners can be completely removed.
01:19 PhilHealth is open for discussion.
01:22 Most of the beneficiaries here are those in the private sector where minimum wage earners are a large number.
01:29 At present, they are counting 18.1 million.
01:33 PhilHealth is looking at that.
01:35 To quantify, like your question, how much really will be the contributions that will not be realized
01:43 if this campaign continues.
01:45 If this will happen, Nelly and Ronel said,
01:48 I will be deceived sir because it's free and I really want to join PhilHealth.
01:56 For GMA Integrated News, Raffy Fima is your witness.
02:00 The number of deaths is high, 15 after a truck fell in Bangin, Negros Oriental.
02:08 In Quezon Province, three people were injured in a motorcycle crash and a bus ride.
02:14 Witness, Luan May Rondina of GMA Visual TV, Balitang Bisda.
02:19 While the Quirino Highway was being cleared in Tangkawayan, Quezon,
02:26 a motorcycle suddenly moved to the other lane.
02:29 Because of this, it was hit by a bus that was supposed to be a passenger.
02:34 Due to the impact, the parts of the broken motorcycle were scattered on the road.
02:39 According to the authorities, the motorcycle rider was dead on the spot.
02:43 In the hospital, two of his organs were brought back to life, including a child.
02:49 Currently, the driver of the bus is in police custody,
02:53 who was injured. He has not yet been released.
02:56 In Mabinay, Negros Oriental, the number of people who were in the way after a truck fell in Bangin,
03:03 increased to 15 yesterday.
03:05 According to Negros Oriental Police, the victims' identity was already revealed.
03:10 Among those who were in the way were the youngest son of Alma Llenes, named Raymond.
03:15 My son was in the way. He was in the way.
03:23 Also in the way was a police officer of Barangay Sulongon in La Libertad, according to their captain.
03:30 It seems like it was a big deal for the teacher, Pritzy Dicipulo,
03:34 when he found out that his parents, two siblings and a cousin were also in the way.
03:41 I feel bad. I'm the only one who's left. I have two children.
03:47 I tried to take care of them, but I reached the point where they left.
03:53 According to Pritzy, his parents are the owners of the damaged truck that has 17 people in it.
04:00 When he confirmed that the truck had a problem, he went back to Barangay Sulongon yesterday morning.
04:06 But it continued on the trip.
04:08 My question is, the truck had a vision.
04:11 First, they were just sleeping.
04:15 They were sleeping, and they were still in the way.
04:21 In the investigation, it was revealed that the truck was lost.
04:25 While the national highway was being built, it fell from 80 to 100 meters deep.
04:33 It was going to go down.
04:36 Two more victims are still in the hospital, including the 72-year-old truck driver who was hit by a vehicle on the left side.
04:45 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Luan Meron Dina of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Bizdak.
04:51 Your Saksi.
04:53 Even the computer box that runs the cars is being used as a tool to catch the victims.
05:00 Saksi, CME is on the air.
05:02 In the CCTV footage, you can see the man who was walking beside his target car.
05:11 And when he was able to get a glimpse through the doors on the passenger side of the car,
05:17 just a few seconds later, he quickly left.
05:20 The black box that was found inside the car was quickly taken out.
05:24 He was rushed to the hospital.
05:25 This is what the victim's car looks like, Aaron Enecuela.
05:29 The car is parked in a parking lot near his house.
05:32 The computer box inside the glove compartment is now gone.
05:36 This is the tool to run the car, especially the new models.
05:40 We were surprised, sir, because most of the things that are stolen are the things inside the car.
05:45 It's very dismaying, sir, because it's also a hassle because this is what I use for my work.
05:51 The victim was rushed to the house of the car to place the new computer box.
05:56 According to the PNP Highway Patrol Group, Task Force Limbas,
05:59 the computer boxes are being seized because they are being sold in the market.
06:04 This is what is considered the brain of the car. It's in demand.
06:09 The price of the computer box is from 20,000 to more than 100,000 pesos each.
06:13 It's very important to buy in the regular market.
06:17 Some of our fellow countrymen resort to the clandestine or black market.
06:24 They sell it online.
06:25 That's why it's hard for us to trace where the source is.
06:28 The computer box is also serialized.
06:31 Even so, there are many fellow countrymen who are good at it electronically and mechanically.
06:37 They can manipulate the parts of the car.
06:43 For now, the suspect who was arrested is subject to the investigation of Task Force Limbas.
06:48 Secure your cars, park them in well-lighted places,
06:53 approach the authorized dealer, don't buy from anyone.
06:58 For GMA Integrated News, Emil Sumangil, your witness.
07:02 Customers of Miralco will receive a refund next month.
07:08 The amount of the bill will be added next month.
07:12 This is Immaculate Polito.
07:14 This month, 57 centavos per kilowatt hour was increased in the bill of Miralco.
07:23 It's a pass-on charges of Miralco.
07:25 It means that Miralco will reduce the price of the electricity plants
07:30 because the price of imported and local liquefied natural gas has increased.
07:34 This is an additional 500 pesos in the Miralco bill of Jojo.
07:38 We are having a hard time paying for the electricity.
07:40 This is overbilling, said the Energy Regulatory Commission.
07:43 Why did it immediately ask the customers?
07:46 It's not yet verified why the electricity plants were asked for a refund.
07:50 It's not just because of the hearing of the commission.
07:53 You cannot pass if the generator asked you for a refund without supporting documents.
08:00 That's why Dimalanta told them that Miralco will refund them 4 to 5 centavos per kilowatt hour this March.
08:08 The refund will be 30 to 35 centavos in April, depending on the result of the ERC's hearing on the issue.
08:14 The ERC will also study if Miralco has a responsibility for the overbilling.
08:19 They were sending letters.
08:21 But our point is that this kind of talk, especially that there is a direct impact on the rates,
08:28 this kind of talk cannot be just written.
08:30 Miralco has not yet announced anything about this.
08:32 But since the overheating started, Jojo is already expecting the Miralco bill to increase,
08:37 so he might not feel the refund.
08:40 The air conditioner should be turned off by tomorrow.
08:43 Until now, it's been empty.
08:45 Because it's hot.
08:47 The DOE said that even though the electricity consumption has increased,
08:50 because El Nino has enough supply in Luzon and Mindanao, but it's thin in Visayas.
08:55 They don't see a problem with the brownout, but they still save on electricity.
09:00 If there is a shortage and there is no choice,
09:02 plants that use diesel will run out, so the electricity bill will be more expensive.
09:08 The cost of no electricity is 300 pesos per kilowatt hour.
09:13 Do you want to lose 300 pesos per kilowatt hour because there is no electricity?
09:16 We don't want that.
09:18 Renewable energy is one of the expected items to make electricity cheaper.
09:22 The DOE's target for 2050 is to use more than 50% of renewable energy,
09:29 such as solar, geothermal, and wind.
09:31 The DOE and DENR have signed an agreement on developing offshore wind energy projects in the Philippines.
09:38 This includes the development of nuclear energy or the construction of small modular reactors.
09:44 The target for 2050 is 4,800 megawatts of nuclear capacity.
09:49 Let's be open to all technologies.
09:52 The numbers that you have seen are all dependent on the policy that is going to be set by Congress.
10:01 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mackie Pulido, your "Saksi."
10:06 She's officially in her CEO era.
10:15 Blackpink member Jisoo has launched her own label, Blinksoo.
10:21 In an IG post, Jisoo said that she's excited about her own label.
10:25 One of the missions of her label is to share her happiness with her fans.
10:30 Jisoo is relying on Blink's support for her new journey.
10:34 And the other Blackpink members have their own solo label, like Jennie and Lisa.
10:43 More than 30 floats are ready to be brought to the Paragbanga Festival this weekend.
10:50 And from Baguio City, I'm your host, Jasmine Gabriel Galvan, of GMA Regional TV, 1 North Central, Luzon.
10:58 All systems go now.
11:01 The Grand Street Dance and Grand Float Parade are the highlights of the Paragbanga Festival in Baguio City this weekend.
11:08 The street dance competition is held in 15 contingents, including six from different places.
11:15 33 floats will be held this weekend.
11:18 We're pretty much excited for this weekend's parade.
11:23 We have more participants, especially during the float parade, way more than we have ever had in the past.
11:29 More than 1,700 police officers are ready to guard the security.
11:34 We divided the crowd control into five sectors.
11:38 Each sector has its own complementary personnel to address anti-criminality, emergency response, and of course, control of the crowd.
11:51 There are emergency lanes that will be used during the parade.
11:55 Control points will be built in Baguio City to guide travelers to other cities and to the city.
12:03 We will be posting the identified parking areas in the city.
12:08 For tourists who are happy with the Paragbanga Festival, from today until midnight on Saturday, they can go to Canon Road.
12:17 But when it comes to Camp 6, where the road is under repair, it will pass through the Wood River.
12:23 The police also warned to be careful with online hotel bookings so that scammers will not be victimized.
12:30 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon.
