00:14 Good morning. Here are the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.
00:20 A fire broke out in a barangay population in Montinlupa earlier this morning.
00:25 More than 60 families were affected.
00:28 For the update on that fire, we have live news from Bam Alegre.
00:33 Bam.
00:34 Susan, Igan and Ivan, the houses are connected and made of light materials.
00:44 That's why the fire broke out early this morning at 3 o'clock in the morning here in Risala Playa,
00:51 in a barangay population in Montinlupa.
00:55 According to the barangay, more than 60 families were affected by the fire,
00:59 but this number is still possible to increase because the damage sustained by this place is extensive.
01:06 But fortunately, no one was hurt or injured in this fire.
01:13 The first alarm was raised at 3 o'clock in the morning, and shortly after, it became the second alarm.
01:20 But this morning, at 5 o'clock, the status of the fire is under control,
01:26 and the operations are still ongoing because there are still some people.
01:28 Like this, you can see from our live footage, there is still fire here in our backyard.
01:34 And it's smoking. The wind became strong because it's right next to Laguna Divine,
01:39 that's why the fire spread quickly.
01:42 The local government is also involved to provide the needs of the affected.
01:48 There are evacuations centers and food for the injured.
01:54 The Bureau of Fire Protection is still investigating the fire.
01:58 This is the latest here in Montinlupa.
02:00 Bam Alegre for GMA Integrated News.
02:02 More than 20 agricultural products were raised in price based on monitoring by the Philippine Statistics Authority.
02:12 Let's see what are those from our correspondent, Marie Zumali, who is in the Commonwealth Market in Quezon City.
02:19 Marie.
02:21 Ivan, 21 out of 34 agricultural products were raised in price in the first half of February, based on the Philippine Statistics Authority.
02:34 And Ivan, according to the PSA, the highest price was raised for tomatoes.
02:42 Oh no, bad news for those who want to saute.
02:47 Because these tomatoes, from the January when they were at P50, are now at P90.
02:52 This calamansi, per kilo, was P60 in January, and now it's P90 in February.
02:58 Then we go to eggplant, here's the eggplant, from P40, it's now at P60 in February.
03:07 And this is bitter melon, it ranges from P50 to P60, and now the price is at P80 to P100 in February.
03:15 But for those who want to saute, our ginger, garlic, and the chili paste, there, they're a bit far away,
03:26 they're still at the same price, the ginger is P80, the garlic is P140, and the chili paste is at P50 per kilo.
03:35 But for those who want to saute, they'll use onions and the chili paste, here's our onions and the chili paste,
03:43 the price dropped from P140 to P70, while the chili paste is at P100 to P80 in February.
03:54 At this point, we'll talk to the President of SINAG or the Agricultural Industry, Mr. Rosendo So,
04:04 to tell us the reason for the price increase of some of the main agricultural products.
04:11 Good morning to you, Mr. Rosendo So.
04:14 Good morning, Ma'am Marie.
04:19 First of all, what is the reason for the price increase of some of the main agricultural products?
04:25 21 out of 34 products have increased their prices, Sir.
04:30 Yeah, so far, the others are not too much.
04:34 There's only a small difference.
04:36 The tomatoes are really big because if we see, in November and December, the prices really dropped.
04:48 The others are planting, so the tomatoes are too much.
04:54 But we are seeing that our farmers are planting again, so we expect that by 30 to 45 days, the prices will normalize.
05:12 So, it will take another month before the prices of these main vegetables will drop?
05:20 The tomatoes, we are seeing that it will take another 30 days.
05:25 But the other commodities, vegetables, are still a bit low.
05:31 The upland vegetables and lowland vegetables are still a bit low.
05:39 So, we expect that the prices will normalize.
05:44 Go ahead.
05:45 These are the commodities that have increased their prices, especially the tomatoes.
05:53 We really need to cook them every day.
05:57 Is there any help that you are giving to your community and to our farmers,
06:03 the government, so that they can help normalize the prices and they won't have a hard time selling because of the high prices?
06:14 Yeah, the seeds, our Department of Agriculture is giving seeds to plant again.
06:22 So, it will help to lower the prices.
06:26 But of course, it won't be that fast.
06:29 It will take 30 days to 45 days.
06:33 But these farmers, what is the effect on them?
06:42 Give us a picture of their situation now, where the prices of their products have really increased.
06:54 Yes, Marisa, the prices of the tomatoes have decreased.
07:00 Remember last year, when the prices of tomatoes dropped, it reached Php8 per kilo.
07:12 Some were even lower than Php8.
07:14 So, the other areas really reduced the prices of tomatoes.
07:20 But of course, after that, the effect is the increase.
07:25 That's why the national planning of planting and fixing, so that it won't suddenly increase and the farmers will plant again,
07:43 the prices will drop again. It will be too low.
07:48 Do you have any concerns that we might run out of vegetables because of the lack of farmers who are planting these products?
08:00 No, not at all, Marisa.
08:04 They are planting again now.
08:07 So, we expect that the prices will drop again.
08:11 They are planting again?
08:12 Yes.
08:14 Lastly, what do you want to say to our voters who are suffering from the high prices of some of the main agricultural products?
08:26 Yes, the other vegetables, Marisa, we saw that the prices are low.
08:35 So, we expect that the lower prices of vegetables will be the biggest thing that our consumers will buy.
08:49 If we see the commodities, there are a lot of vegetables that are low in price.
09:03 All right. Thank you very much for the information you gave us and for your time.
09:07 Ginoong Rosendo So, the President of SINAG or Samahang Industria ng Agrikultura. Good morning to you.
09:13 Our government is focusing on the 2024 presidential race of America, according to the Philippine Ambassador to the United States, Jose Manuel Romualdez.
09:24 It is possible that US President Joe Biden and his former counterpart, Donald Trump, will fight again for the presidency.
09:32 Everyone is concerned about the election results in November and the country is preparing for it.
09:39 The current leader is the one who strengthened the alliance between the Philippines and America,
09:43 particularly in military exercises amidst the hot issue in the South China Sea.
09:48 Fox's mode is okay.
09:56 Actually, it's cute.
09:57 He has a wound.
09:58 Meanwhile, here's the show. Miss Chica, the fans of the pop rock band Jonas Brothers' concert at the Mall of Asia Arena.
10:05 Wow!
10:09 The crowd of the SINAG show was filled with cheers and screams.
10:12 Joe, Nick, and Kevin were at the entrance of the concert.
10:15 They performed some of their hit songs like "What a Man Gotta Do", "When You Look Me in the Eyes", and "Love Bug".
10:21 Before the concert, the brothers shared photos and videos while in the Philippines.
10:26 Nick posted their workout session on his IG story.
10:30 Joe posted his son-kiss photos on his Instagram.
10:35 The three of them also went live on their social media accounts while inside a jeep.
10:41 Some netizens also saw the three of them riding a jeep from Pasay to the venue of their concert.
10:49 In the covered court, the fire continues in the barangay of Montinlupa.
10:56 For the update, we have live news.
10:59 Bam Alegre.
11:01 Bam?
11:03 It's past 7 in the morning.
11:08 The extent of the damage left by the fire will be highlighted.
11:11 It's under control but the mapping operations are still ongoing.
11:18 According to the barangay population of Montinlupa,
11:20 more than 60 families were affected by the fire and it's possible that the number of people affected has increased.
11:24 The houses made of light materials are close to the Rizal Apalaya where the fire happened.
11:29 That's why the fire spread widely.
11:31 The residents were in danger of being evacuated because of the fast pace of the fire.
11:35 Veronica Guash was brought here and was assigned with special needs in the area of the fire.
11:39 We were sleeping.
11:40 Of course, my daughter was not sleeping.
11:45 She was wearing a blanket.
11:46 She was special.
11:48 When she woke up, I was not sleeping either.
11:51 I heard someone fighting and making noise.
11:55 Then my husband stood up and went out.
11:57 It was like there was a fire and someone was about to explode.
12:01 Lucrecia Almazam was still alive after the fire of the fire for the safety of her grandson, Sanggol.
12:07 The fire was so fast.
12:10 When we went out of the door, the fire was already there.
12:12 We were sleeping.
12:14 How hard was it to get out of the house when it was already on fire?
12:19 We jumped.
12:20 We jumped on the rope.
12:23 All of us jumped on the rope.
12:27 This is a covered court for the temporary evacuation of the victims.
12:30 The local government is in touch with their needs.
12:33 This area is close to the house and there are light materials.
12:37 So, the fire is big.
12:41 There are still fires here in Pinangyarihan, Sunog.
12:49 At this time, the residents are still considering their property if they can still use the iron.
12:58 The barangay is still on-going with the affected families.
13:04 Right now, it's 60 plus but it's expected to increase.
13:09 This is the latest update here in Muntinlupa.
13:12 Aba Malagre for the GMA Integrated News.
13:14 The fire in Caloocan was also on fire earlier today.
13:18 It was hard for the firefighters to enter the area because of the double parking and the wires of the electricity.
13:26 We have live news. James Agustin.
13:29 James.
13:31 Good morning.

14:12 They also accompanied the dog that was rescued.
14:15 I saw that the fire was on our roof.
14:21 I woke up my father and my brother.
14:26 He was down there. He was about to die.
14:30 If I didn't wake up, I might have caught my brother.
14:34 The house that Edgar was living in was also damaged.
14:37 It was completely destroyed, including his Sari-Sari store in the first floor.
14:40 The fire started. I couldn't get our belongings upstairs.
14:45 I couldn't get our cellphones.
14:48 I had to break the door to get water.
14:54 I couldn't get it.
14:56 According to the BFP, the two houses were burned.
14:58 The three families were affected.
15:00 The fire started in the back.
15:03 It was composed of light materials, such as wood and plywood.
15:07 The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
15:11 Double parking is the number one struggle of the firefighters.
15:15 If you can see, there are wires on the outside and the back.
15:18 The windows are closed.
15:21 The fire started at 4 in the morning.
15:24 The families affected are calling for help.
15:27 I hope that there is someone who can help us.
15:32 That's all we can do.
15:35 I don't know how to get to our school.
15:38 We only have one pair of slippers.
15:42 Please help us.
15:45 This is just the beginning.
15:47 Meanwhile, the BFP is still investigating the entire importance of the fire in Ari-Arian.
15:56 The families affected will continue to investigate in Barangay Hall.
16:00 First news from Caloocan.
16:02 I am James Agustin for JEMA Integrated News.
16:06 To help the minimum wage earners,
16:10 the Camera has a suggestion to not ask for contributions to Peel Health.
16:14 Peel Health will open on this suggestion tomorrow.
16:17 Raffi Pima has the first news.
16:19 Nelly and Ronel are working in a small restaurant.
16:26 Because the minimum wage earners have a hard time making ends meet with their expenses,
16:30 they don't prioritize their health expenses.
16:34 Nelly, for example, did not become a member of Peel Health because her salary will be reduced.
16:39 That's too much.
16:41 Because where will we get our 250 pesos?
16:44 To help those like them,
16:46 the Camera has a suggestion to temporarily stop asking for contributions from the minimum wage earners.
16:53 For now, the contribution of the minimum wage workers in Peel Health is P500,
16:58 which was distributed by their employer.
17:00 The remaining funds that the Congress gave to Peel Health in 2022
17:04 is enough to pay the minimum wage worker contributions for the whole of 2024.
17:11 Last year, Peel Health did not use the P39 billion in their fund that was allocated to premium services.
17:18 Even though temporarily, when the House Resolution 1595 is approved,
17:22 this time can be used to study if the contribution of the minimum wage earners can be completely removed.
17:29 Peel Health is open for discussion.
17:32 Most of the beneficiaries are those in the private sector,
17:36 where the minimum wage earners are a large number.
17:39 At present, they are counting as 18.1 million.
17:43 Peel Health is looking at that.
17:45 To quantify, like your question, how much really will be the contributions that will not be realized if this discussion continues.
17:55 If this will happen, Nelly and Ronel said...
17:59 I will be deceived sir because it's free. I really want to join Peel Health.
18:06 This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
18:11 The Department of Energy promised that the country's electricity supply will be enough in the middle of the El Niño River.
18:17 Energy Secretary Rafael Otilia said that even if the capacity of hydroelectric power plants is reduced,
18:24 the Philippines is more prepared than when the El Niño River crossed.
18:31 We have natural gas power plants and reception facilities.
18:35 Even so, public cooperation is needed in saving electricity.
18:40 We are actually much better off now to cope with the El Niño than before.
18:50 But nevertheless, we continue and the President has stressed this.
18:54 Let's continue to work on energy efficiency and conservation.
19:00 And some of the sellers are having problems because the number of buyers is also decreasing.
19:11 And we have the first live news.
19:13 Adrian Prietos of GMA Regional TV One Western Visayas.
19:18 Good morning Adrian.
19:20 Yes, good morning.

20:04 Now, it is P240 per kilo.
20:06 It is not good.
20:08 According to the government, the sellers are not able to pay back the money they have earned.
20:16 Because it is too expensive.
20:18 The buyers are calling on the sellers to avoid buying pork because they will lose money.
20:26 The seller is saying that it is too expensive.
20:31 It is too expensive.
20:33 We have already paid back the money we have earned.

21:26 Police Colonel Gene Fajardo, they have not received any information about the death threats in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Leader.
21:34 If the Philippine National Police is ready to provide him with protection,
21:39 the police also denied that the government forces are involved in the fight against Qibuloy.
21:44 Pastor Qibuloy first denied the allegations of abuse and harm to some members of his organization.
21:51 He said that this is just a work of investigation against him in the Senate.
21:55 He said that he is ready to face the court, but not the Senate.
