00:00 [Music]

00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.

00:12 [Music]

00:16 Good evening, Zon Visayas and Mindanao.

00:20 It seems that the tone of the former President Rodrigo Duterte has changed.

00:25 Now, he has agreed to support the proposed amendment of the Constitution.

00:31 But, that favor has a condition.

00:35 Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV has the news.

00:40 [Music]

00:44 There is a message again from former President Rodrigo Duterte to President Bongbong Marcos

00:49 in the prayer rally of the Dutertes in Cebu last night.

00:53 Mr. President, you were elected under a constitution for one term of six years.

01:04 Be happy with that.

01:06 [President Duterte speaking in Filipino]

01:25 The steps to amend the Constitution through the PIPOS initiative

01:30 were again stopped by Duterte in his speech.

01:34 But what he said now, he will support the amendments to the Constitution

01:39 compared to the wishes of the people and not to those who have their own interests.

01:45 I will support changes in the Constitution, economic provisions, whatever.

01:54 Even in the terms of the last chapter, his term of office is being appealed to the President.

02:08 I'm okay with it as long as you will not be fooled by the current and the next elections.

02:19 The former President thanked the Cebuans for their support.

02:23 He also called for the continued support of the son of Vice President and Deputy Secretary Sara Duterte

02:30 in his plans for the next elections.

02:33 The GMA Integrated News is continuing to work hard to get the attention of the people

02:38 with the words of Duterte.

02:40 Some congressmen were pleased that they changed the position of the former President Duterte,

02:47 in favor of Chacha.

02:49 Of course, it is a welcome development of the former President, former President Duterte.

02:54 Maybe our well-respected former President Rodrigo Duterte can see clearly

03:02 that this is the long-pushed by many administrations.

03:08 But according to House Deputy Speaker David Suarez,

03:11 it will be better if his supporters also join the position of the former President.

03:22 For GMA Regional TV, I'm Balitang Bistak.

03:25 And GMA Integrated News, Nico Sereno, for 24 Hours.

03:30 Good news because not only those who will reach 100 years of age

03:37 will receive benefits from the government.

03:40 Under the amended Centenarian Law,

03:43 even those over 80 years of age will receive benefits.

03:46 How much?

03:47 Let's find out in the discussion of Ivan Mayrina.

03:50 Since 2016, more than 7,000 Filipinos have benefited from the Centenarian Law

03:58 that gives 100,000 pesos to every Filipino who reaches 100 years of age.

04:03 But under the amended law,

04:06 not only centenarians or Filipinos over 100 years of age will receive benefits,

04:11 but also octogenarians or people over 80 years of age,

04:14 and nonagenarians or people over 70 years of age will also receive benefits.

04:19 Under the new law, Filipinos upon reaching the age of 80

04:23 shall receive a cash gift of 10,000 pesos in every 5 years thereafter.

04:28 And upon reaching the age of 85, 90 and until 95.

04:34 We do after all stand on the shoulders of these giants.

04:39 The fund for this year is 2.2 billion pesos

04:43 and it needs to be registered in the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs of your local government.

04:47 Aside from that, the President also signed the Tatak Pinoy Act

04:51 that orders the distribution of Filipino products and services,

04:54 particularly government procurement.

04:56 Tatak Pinoy is more than a branding exercise.

04:59 It is about incubating and incentivizing great products that deserve to carry

05:04 the "Made in the Philippines" trademark.

05:07 The President did not sign the Magna Carta for Seafarers.

05:10 This law is one of the ways for Filipinos to follow the International Maritime Rules and Standards.

05:16 But the President still wants to review it.

05:19 In the middle of the discussion between the House and Senate regarding the Charter Change,

05:22 the President thanked the leaders of the two groups.

05:25 It proves once again the tenet that bicameralism was designed to bring together

05:30 the brilliance of two bodies through compromise.

05:33 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina, for Tutok 24.

05:37 There is a reduction in the price of some oil products starting tomorrow,

05:43 last Tuesday of February.

05:45 The price of diesel is almost a peso per liter.

05:49 Gasoline is 70 cents.

05:51 According to the GMA Integrated News Research Base,

05:54 according to the Energy Department,

05:57 this is the biggest rollback in diesel and gasoline since 2024.

06:04 There is also a reduction in the price of kerosene, which is a peso and ten cents per liter.

06:09 Senator Robin Padilla asked for a pardon from his fellow members of the Senate.

06:16 Following the repeated example of his wife, Marielle, who is having an IV drip inside the Senate.

06:22 To clarify, Marielle is not having glutathione, but vitamin C, in her IV drip.

06:28 Ma'am Gonzalez is right!

06:30 The celebrity, Marielle Padilla, has already answered the repeated cases of IV drips

06:38 inside the office of her husband, Senator Robin Padilla.

06:42 I had no intention whatsoever to disrespect the Senate or anything like that.

06:50 It was never in my intention.

06:53 I was in my husband's office.

06:55 So I felt that it was a safe place because it was my husband's office.

07:02 It was never my intention to offend you or make you feel that the Senate is not respectable.

07:14 No, of course not.

07:15 The Senate Ethics Committee Chairperson, Senator Nancy Binay,

07:20 made it clear that it was not prescribed in the Senate Clinic.

07:24 And that the FDA and DOH did not approve the glutathione drip.

07:28 But Marielle clarified that it was vitamin C and not glutathione,

07:32 and that she had a professional nurse who was there to support her husband at work.

07:39 Based on the abuse of the FDA, the use of vitamin C injection is not safe

07:45 because it can cause kidney stones if the urine it is injecting is acidic.

07:51 Senator Padilla wrote to the Sergeant at Arms and Medical Bureau Director of the Senate

07:56 to ask for a dispensary.

07:58 They did not say that they will not let the Senate members who have houses to do anything.

08:03 The Senate hopes that this will not happen again.

08:06 Stop that political issue.

08:09 Honestly, we have a lot to talk about.

08:13 Padilla also wrote to Senate President Mike Subiri and Senator Binay to ask for a compensation.

08:21 They said that they will never do anything to the corruption that the Senate symbolizes

08:26 and they always respect its rules.

08:29 Binay accepted Padilla's request for a dispensary.

08:32 But if there is a formal complaint, the Ethics Committee will investigate what Marielle did.

08:38 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, Katutok, 24 Hours.

08:44 House Speaker Martin Romualdez said that they will strengthen the Senate's version

08:52 of the amendment to the Economic Provisions of the Constitution.

08:56 This is in the middle of the deliberation on the resolution of the House of Representatives

09:00 on the amendment of the Constitution.

09:03 That is the joint force of Tina Panganibang Perez and Mav Gonzales.

09:13 House Speaker Martin Romualdez opened the deliberation of the Committee of the Whole House

09:19 on the resolution of both Houses No. 7, the own version of the Camera,

09:23 on the amendment of the three economic provisions in the Constitution.

09:28 This is our only agreement, economy, not politics.

09:33 Now, to dispel doubts that the efforts of the House of Representatives

09:38 in pushing for the amendment of the Economic Provisions of the Constitution is politically motivating

09:44 or motivated, we are actually adopting all the three proposed amendments

09:50 of the Senate version of the resolution of both Houses No. 6 in total.

09:56 But the discussion on RBH 7 is not yet starting.

10:01 The answer on the procedure is already hot,

10:04 with the question of whether they are already doing a constituent assembly.

10:08 Is this a plenary? Are we converting it to a constituent assembly?

10:13 Because there are many topics in RBH.

10:16 If it is a simple bill, as stated in our rule, one topic, one bill.

10:22 You can say that we are a constituent assembly or a legislative body,

10:28 but in either case, we are acting on the basis of our constituent power to amend the Constitution.

10:37 Maybe we are just different in understanding the constituent assembly.

10:42 This Committee of the Whole can never be considered as a constituent assembly.

10:49 A constituent assembly is an assembly of senators and representatives.

10:57 Whether it is a constituent assembly, it is not.

11:00 This is a Committee of the Whole.

11:02 Although the Economic Charter Change is supported by several government offices and groups,

11:07 it is not the only solution to the problems of the country.

11:11 Let me emphasize that we only reap the benefits I mentioned

11:17 if we also address the other problems involving high energy costs,

11:22 inadequate connectivity infrastructure, slow bureaucratic processes,

11:27 inconsistent local and national regulations,

11:30 and highly concerning learning poverty and malnutrition.

11:34 They also issued their ruling.

11:38 Economic chacha, we believe, is unnecessary, it distracts from real development, and is counterproductive.

11:45 Senators, President Bongbong Marcos was in Malacanang earlier.

11:50 Here, the President again mentioned that the President should be the senator in the discussion of the Charter Change.

11:56 He said, we'll allow the Senate to take the lead,

11:59 and I've asked the House leaders to wait for your output, and that they should just adapt.

12:06 The President also said that it is better to have the plebiscite for the Charter Change in the 2025 elections.

12:12 He said that he wants to have it in the 2025 elections.

12:17 So if that's the case, we don't need to rush.

12:20 The President instructed Senator Sonny Angara to study the legal steps

12:24 to include the plebiscite in the Commission on Elections or COMELEC,

12:28 or the question of whether the people favor or not in the change of the Constitution in the 2025 elections.

12:35 COMELEC said that they can have the plebiscite in the 2025 elections without additional expenses.

12:41 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mav Gonzalez and Tina Panganiban Perez.

12:45 We have learned 24 hours.

12:48 Meanwhile, not in the concert, but in the office of the NBI,

12:53 the continuation of some Filipino fans of the American pop superstar, Taylor Swift.

12:58 More than 100 Swifties who bought tickets online were scammed

13:04 by a man who said that he has access to tickets for the ERA Store concert in Singapore.

13:10 And Ian Cruz was able to play.

13:12 [Music]

13:28 The biggest concert tour in the world will arrive in Southeast Asia this March.

13:34 That's why many Filipino fans can't wait to see the ERA Store tour of pop superstar Taylor Swift in Singapore.

13:43 [Music]

13:47 But last July, tickets for the concert were sold out to the official sellers faster than 4 o'clock.

13:54 With the lack of reach of Die Hard Swifty, whose real name is Jenny,

13:59 she was scammed by other online buyers.

14:03 A friend told her that a man has access to tickets for the ERA Store concert in Singapore.

14:10 He showed proof of his transactions with other people.

14:14 Then there are those who vouch for him, even to the point that he mentioned that

14:19 he sold tickets to social media influencers and celebrities.

14:25 Even if he paid P65,000,

14:29 he was able to sell tickets through online banking to a man

14:34 who promised him that he will get the tickets two weeks before the concert.

14:39 But when the deadline came,

14:42 he couldn't contact the man who introduced himself as Tuguegarao Cagayan.

14:48 The buyers started commenting on him.

14:51 It turns out that we are a lot.

14:53 So instead of the concert, Jenny went straight to the NBI Cybercrime Division to complain to the man.

15:00 From the many Facebook posts that I see that he is being vouched for,

15:04 many are commenting that he is legit,

15:07 I didn't ask, I didn't have the idea that this man is a fraud.

15:13 We know the risk, but because we want to watch, because we are fans,

15:20 that's what we know, which is sad.

15:24 We just want to enjoy.

15:26 According to the NBI Cybercrime Division,

15:29 in total, there are about 100 victims of the ticket seller.

15:34 Among them is the sparkle artist Sofia Pablo,

15:37 based on her statement,

15:39 Augusto Parrao started to auction concert tickets.

15:43 He has a first-time reseller, but there was a problem,

15:46 so Jenny also made a transaction with the man hoping to get a ticket

15:51 after paying but she also didn't get anything.

15:54 The NBI said that the concert tickets were bought from a small ticket office so that the victim won't be found.

16:00 Be careful, because someone is not vouching, it means that the person is a real person who is vouching,

16:04 and because they didn't just send an ID, it means that it's really them.

16:07 But it turns out that not only in the Philippines,

16:11 the online marketplace in Singapore, Carousell,

16:16 has announced that all the listings of the ticket sellers are being removed

16:22 because of the increase in the number of tickets sold.

16:25 Jenny, who is a scammer, is still never say die when watching the concert of the idol.

16:31 She has a new person to talk to,

16:33 but this time, she won't let go of the payment

16:37 when she doesn't have the real ticket when she's already in the venue in Singapore.

16:42 Turn left, once you're in the venue, you'll pay.

16:47 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz reporting for 24 Hours.

16:51 The dreams of leading men are full of happiness.

17:00 As the star of the new gen turns 19,

17:03 they're preparing an all out surprise for Jillian Ward.

17:07 Here's the story of Aubrey Carampe.

17:09 Each of them are going to be on social media,

17:14 the four-legged dream stars leading men,

17:17 to greet the star of the new gen, Jillian Ward, on her 19th birthday.

17:21 Jeff Moses has a surprise for Jill while she's taping.

17:31 But, she removed the ring.

17:33 Flowers, balloons, chocolates, and a giant stuffed toy came to Jill.

17:44 Jillian is still crying, which Jeff also did.

17:59 Okay, let's go.

18:01 Harry Rahil Birya won't be late for his surprise effort

18:05 that Jill went to his house for his birthday celebration.

18:09 Hello Jill, happy birthday!

18:11 Because it's unexpected, Jillian is wearing a jersey,

18:15 but Rahil is a very gentle man that he put his polo to Jill.

18:19 Aside from food, Rahil also gave her a cat.

18:23 That's a real one!

18:25 It's a guy, auntie agreed.

18:27 Aww, that's so cool!

18:29 Sorry for surprising you, I came here unexpectedly.

18:34 Happy birthday!

18:38 Jill's strong shout snaps were shared by Doc Lyndon Ken Chan,

18:47 with Jill's carousel of photos.

18:49 Ken's message, "To my precious Doc, hope your birthday is as special as you are."

18:56 Their long-awaited co-stars also shared the surprise to Jillian on set.

19:01 A tight hug was also given by Jill's father, Doc RJ, Richard Yap.

19:08 Meanwhile, Richard personally thanked his supporters on a fans day.

19:15 It's not about us, it's not about getting famous or getting known or whatever.

19:20 It's really what you can give to the viewers, what you can give to the people who look up to us.

19:26 There are still many twists and revelations that will happen soon in the hit Afternoon Prime series

19:32 that the fans should watch.

19:34 And one of the secrets of why the series lasted more than a year.

19:40 Behind the scenes, we're all so happy being together.

19:44 As you can see, maybe from the TikToks that they do.

19:48 For us, it's not work anymore.

19:50 It's for us, we want to do it.

19:57 So if they say you don't have a taping tomorrow,

20:00 Obrigarampel, updated showbiz happening.

20:04 Secretary Boying Remulia ordered the Justice Department to make a legal action

20:10 following the court's ruling in the motion questioning

20:14 the agreement of the accused in the disappearance of six firefighters in Manila.

20:19 The secret of why the case conference lasted for a month was also explained.

20:23 Salima Refran was on the scene.

20:25 We will exhaust all possible legal remedies. We will go to the higher court on this matter.

20:33 On the return of the office of Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia,

20:38 he immediately ordered the next legal step in the disposal of Manila RTC Branch 40

20:44 in the motion for reconsideration of the prosecution

20:47 in the court's ruling that the accused can be pardoned for the disappearance of firefighters in Manila Arena.

20:53 Even just the fact that they hid from the law and did not surrender

20:57 already shows a point against them that they should not have been granted bail.

21:04 Within a week, the family of some of the missing firefighters went out

21:09 because they were not helped by the DOJ.

21:12 The month of the case conference was suspended because they were resting.

21:15 Remulia recovered following complications in her immune system

21:20 since she was bypassed a year ago.

21:22 Remulia said that the families of the missing firefighters will be helped as soon as possible.

21:29 We will not stop. We will try to obtain justice the way that we promised them we will.

21:34 For JMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Rafran.

21:37 Tune in for 24 Hours.

21:39 My fellow countrymen, a low-pressure area was seen outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

21:49 According to the forecast, for now, the chance of it entering the PAR or becoming a storm is low.

21:55 But the LPA trough or extension is spreading to the country and will affect some parts of Mindanao.

22:02 Aside from that, the wind is also blowing continuously in the whole Luzon and Easterlies in the remaining part of the country.

22:10 Based on the data of Metro Weather, a large part of Mindanao will be raining

22:15 along with Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Carraga, and Soc Sarger.

22:21 There will also be rain in Davao Region, so our countrymen should remain alert,

22:26 especially in Davao de Oro, which is slowly rising from the landslide.

22:32 The strong rain in some areas is possible, so be prepared.

22:36 In Visayas, there is a chance of rain before evening in some parts of Aklan and Samar Provinces.

22:43 The weather in Luzon is clear, aside from Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, some parts of Bicol Region, and Mindoro Provinces.

22:51 In Metro Manila, the chance of rain is low for now, but the storm will still bring a storm

22:57 that will be in the heat of the day or in the sudden rain.

23:01 The farmers are trying to reduce the water shortage in some parts of Northern Luzon.

23:06 So, to help them, the Department of Agriculture is studying to do cloud seeding.

23:11 Some are also trying to convince the local governments in Metro Manila to stop the flood of El Nino.

23:17 That is the joint effort of Sandra Aguinaldo and Maki Pulido.

23:22 Because there is no rain and shortage of water, the fruits of the corn will be smaller in some farms outside the city of Ilocos Norte.

23:32 So, instead of being more dry and not being able to be harvested, the farmer Patricio is already planting.

23:38 We planted corn in the field and it grew bigger.

23:45 When we planted it, it grew bigger.

23:52 It's 15 years old.

23:53 To help the farmers, the Department of Agriculture is planning to do cloud seeding operations in Region 2.

23:59 This is a mitigating measure where the airplane will fly for 2 kilometers to pour salt on the clouds to make it rain.

24:07 Salt is hygroscopic in nature.

24:11 When we say hygroscopic, it has the ability to attract moisture.

24:16 If we dispense salt from above, when it reaches the top, it will attract moisture.

24:24 But before pouring salt, the Doppler radar uses the salt to know if the cloud has a suitable cloud or moisture.

24:32 The wind direction is also studied to estimate where the rain will fall.

24:37 There are dry clouds.

24:39 So, even if you pour a few kilos of salt, if the clouds are dry, it will not fall.

24:46 But there are clouds that are rich in moisture content.

24:50 The cost is 80 to 100 thousand pesos per day for cloud seeding operation.

24:55 It's expensive, but the benefit is greater when it rains on the drying of the land.

25:02 Here in Metro Manila, Metro Manila mayors are also making a move against El Niño.

25:08 Metro Manila Council President and San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora

25:13 will support the establishment of a water catchment facility for all the cities in Metro Manila.

25:19 I will again reiterate my call to my fellow mayors to set up rainwater catchment systems.

25:26 It's important that we don't let rainwater just flow into the canals and drainages.

25:32 Let's catch it, pump it, and reuse it.

25:36 Metro Manila Development Authority, MMDA, is giving away a rainwater collector,

25:43 which they donated to Tripa de Galina Park in Barangay San Isidro in Makati City.

25:49 They plan to put it in barangays and schools.

25:54 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo.

25:58 Nakipulido na Katuto, 24 horas.

26:01 Good news for sports.

26:04 This is a new game that was won by the Filipino voter at World No. 2, EJ Obiena,

26:10 at the International Stadium Fest or ISTAF 2024 in Berlin, Germany.

26:17 Obiena got it after clearing 5.93 meters in two attempts.

26:24 That's the new national and Asian record in the indoor pole vault.

26:29 Just last week, Obiena also used a gold medal in Croatia.

26:34 Obiena will return to action on March 3 for the World Indoor Championship in Glasgow, Scotland.

26:41 Obiena is also one of the people who will be competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

26:48 There's no exception in the operation against the obstacles on the road,

26:53 the buses that ride and get off in the wrong places,

26:57 and the riders who are still on the bike lane.

27:01 And that's where Oscar Oida is pointing.

27:07 The "No Loading and Unloading" sign is old.

27:11 The bikes are also blocked and the bike lanes have a physical barrier.

27:16 But the passengers still ride and get off in this part of East Avenue in Quezon City,

27:22 some buses.

27:24 That's why earlier, they were the one who was stopped by the MMDA.

27:27 I still don't have a passenger, sir.

27:29 That's why we're forced to go to the passenger.

27:33 According to the MMDA, the motorists have been complaining about this for a long time.

27:38 That the traffic slowdown is the main reason for the traffic congestion.

27:43 It's really prohibited because even if we say it's just for a short time,

27:46 it will still consume more than 30 seconds.

27:49 And 30 seconds, it's a big factor when it comes to traffic congestion.

27:53 In front of the East Avenue Medical Center,

27:56 the riders of the motorcycles are being caught.

27:59 They're parked in the bike lane.

28:02 The buses are being carried around.

28:06 These are the main reasons why even the bicycles are being trafficked in the area.

28:12 It's really complicated, sir.

28:14 If we say it's just for a short time, we'll be in trouble.

28:16 It should be like this always.

28:17 In Escalero Street, near the East Avenue, Quezon City,

28:21 an APV was completely blocked.

28:24 Aside from the illegal parking,

28:26 in front of a fire hydrant, a car was left.

28:31 The hydrants are not to be obstructed.

28:33 If there's a fire, how will the firefighters get water?

28:37 The next stop of the MMDA is the cars parked in Loton Avenue,

28:43 West Rembo, Taguig.

28:45 The riders immediately rushed to Kalaean Avenue, Taguig,

28:50 when the enforcers arrived.

28:52 Because of their large numbers, it wasn't easy to stop them.

28:57 My foot is hurting.

28:58 He's a good guy. He didn't run away.

29:00 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida,

29:03 24 Hours is on the air.

29:06 The Philippine National Police defended the blocking of vehicles by the police

29:13 that were supposed to be used in the inauguration of the 38th Edsa People Power Anniversary yesterday.

29:19 The PNP said that they are just implementing their mandate

29:23 regarding their out-of-line vehicles.

29:27 Yesterday, several groups defended the police

29:32 that drove a few delegates from Cavite and several towns in Laguna.

29:37 They asked the police why they were being blocked,

29:41 but they were not answered.

29:43 The PNP said that it was not done to preserve the rights of those who were allowed to ride.

29:49 Overall, they were able to safely celebrate the anniversary of Edsa People Power.

29:56 [music]

30:00 Swifties, forever and always,

30:03 who are the stars of the day? David Licauco and Barbie Fortezza.

30:06 David enjoyed his bejeweled moment in Australia for Taylor Swift's concert.

30:11 While Barbie was speechless when she received the gift of merch.

30:16 Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.

30:18 Oh my God.

30:20 Oh, thank you.

30:26 Wildest dreams indeed.

30:28 That's why Princess Barbie Fortezza was so emotional

30:32 when she received the gift of friend Rain Matienzo,

30:35 who is Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Merch.

30:38 It's nice to have a friend like Rain,

30:41 who will never forget Barbie, a certified Swifty,

30:44 who has a gift shirt and friendship bracelet, fresh from Melbourne, Australia.

30:49 Rain made one of the friendship bracelets with Barbie's name.

30:55 It was rare. He was there.

30:57 David Licauco, who is a Filipino, will surely remember it all too well.

31:02 He also enjoyed Tay-Tay's concert in Australia.

31:06 While on vacation,

31:08 their co-stars continued taping in the GMA Prime Family Drama Series, "Pulang Araw".

31:15 Aside from studying the activities of the Japanese during that time,

31:19 their conversation on the old lives of that time is also an important aspect.

31:25 First, Sania Lopez and Ashley Ortega visited a house for comfort women.

31:31 Now, Epic Kison and Mikoy Morales are bonding with World War II veterans.

31:38 The stories of Oscar and I will be,

31:41 in a way, a jumping ground or playground for the writers

31:48 so that we can capture the essence of that era that we want to tell you.

31:58 For Mikoy, it's a big blessing to be cast in the series.

32:02 It's a bit intimidating to enter the house.

32:08 You only see it in documentaries, films, stories, books,

32:18 but to have someone actually tell you upfront how it was to live then,

32:26 it's something else.

32:28 I think it's one of the things that you won't get anywhere else.

32:32 "Pulang Araw" is not just a big project of Kapuso Network.

32:36 "Pulang Araw" is also an important additional knowledge for many Filipinos.

32:41 Nelson Canlas, updated on Shoebiz Happenings.

32:50 I'm Vicky Morales for a bigger mission.

32:53 For a wider service to the country, I'm Emil Sumangin.
