00:00 We will have two more accidents in an endurance motorcycle challenge in Pangasinan and La Union.
00:07 Let's watch Rosso Simoyo of GMA Regional TV, One North Central Luzon.
00:12 The rider Dexter Dizo, who was riding on a national highway in Parangay, Bukidagupan City,
00:21 was hit by a motorcycle while riding on an endurance motorcycle challenge.
00:30 He broke his ankle. You can see his ankle.
00:34 He was using a balsamador to fix it. That's why it's stiff.
00:39 Another rider was also injured in the competition.
00:42 They apologized because they didn't want anything to happen to us.
00:48 That's all. Why did this happen?
00:52 I hope they will think about it.
00:55 I hope that nothing will happen to us.
01:01 It's dark there. The riders are fast.
01:04 That's all. We saw them pass by. The riders are really fast.
01:09 In San Juan, La Union, another rider was injured in a motorcycle challenge.
01:16 According to the police, the rider overtook the motorcycle challenge.
01:21 But the rider was just in time to arrive from the other side of the road.
01:26 You can't stop the riders because they will pass by.
01:31 The participants are the ones who will adjust.
01:35 But we are watching the intersections because the cars might suddenly pass by.
01:44 In San Agustin, Isabela, another rider was injured.
01:51 He was brought to the hospital.
01:53 According to the authorities, the organizers asked the police for security.
01:59 But the riders were told to run fast because of the accidents.
02:04 The motorcycle challenge was held this weekend. The rider must complete the 1,200 km route within 24 hours.
02:14 The GMA Regional TV is also collecting the organizers of the Boss Ironman Challenge.
02:20 But the police said that the organizers and the motorcycle challenge riders were involved in the accident.
02:28 They were helping the injured families.
02:32 According to PNP Chief General Benjamin Acorda Jr., they will investigate this.
02:38 According to PNP, in these events, they can help to ensure road safety.
02:45 But it's better to have inter-agency coordination.
02:48 I think the PNP can only do so much but we want to give our best.
02:55 The organizers are the ones who can do the best. But we are willing to help and do an inter-agency coordination with them.
03:05 For GMA Integrated News, I am Rassel Cimorio of GMA Regional TV, 1 North, San Carloson.
03:13 Your Saksi.
03:15 The official Facebook page of the Philippine Coast Guard was hacked.
03:19 The PCG was at 6 o'clock last night when they noticed that they no longer have control over their account.
03:24 Based on the initial diagnostic, the hackers did not leave digital traces on their email address and mobile phone that they use for their security key.
03:33 Until now, the PCG has not recovered their Facebook page.
03:37 But the ICAE PCG spokesperson, Rear Admiral Armand Balilo, and Superadio DC BB, have already contacted Facebook.
03:46 The documents were not compromised because of this.
03:51 More than half a million passengers will be able to ride the Metro Manila Subway when the project is completed in 2029.
03:58 And earlier, some high-ranking officials have already set up a survey for this.
04:03 Saksi, Joseph Moro.
04:05 One of the solutions to the heavy traffic in Manila is the Metro Manila Subway Project.
04:14 To make the project more sustainable, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista and Finance Secretary Ralph Precto visited the project earlier.
04:21 This is part of the first segment of the subway.
04:24 It is expected that by May this year, the tunnel will be completed up to the Quirino Highway.
04:28 In July of this year, only 200 meters or 0.2 kilometers will be completed.
04:33 More than half a kilometer of tunnel is already being completed here in the Metro Manila Subway.
04:38 According to the Department of Transportation, this will be operational in 2029.
04:42 But the agency will look into the possibility of partial operability in 2028 from Valenzuela to Ortigas.
04:50 We'll need to look at the ridership.
04:52 Even if it's deep, there's ventilation inside.
04:55 Sir, it's a bit cold here. So, this means that when it's operational, the system will be like this?
05:00 Yes, sir.
05:01 This is the ventilation system that comes from the front. It will go inside.
05:08 When the project is completed in 2029, it is expected that more than half a million people will use this everyday
05:15 from Valenzuela to the end of its station in Bicutan.
05:19 Although the project is owed to JICA, the government needs 30 billion pesos to buy right-of-way for the passage of this place.
05:29 The Finance Department assured that the program will continue.
05:33 I'm confident that there are resources available to finance the right-of-way for this project.
05:40 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Joseph Morong, your witness.
05:44 Two people were killed after a pickup truck fell and collided with a drainage in General Santos City.
05:51 According to the investigation, the driver of the pickup truck from the beach resort in Glan, Sarangani, fell asleep.
05:57 The vehicle was also overloaded. 16 people were injured.
06:02 The passengers, aged 70 and 13, were killed.
06:05 The driver of the truck was now held by the Traffic Enforcement Unit or TEU, which did not allow the interview.
06:10 13 people were hospitalized, including the two-month-old baby.
06:15 According to the TEU, the victims of the crash did not want to file a case.
06:19 The Senate has investigated the alleged violation and illegal use of the beach resort in South China Sea.
06:28 Witness, Chino Gaston.

06:34 In the satellite image taken on February 22, floating barriers in the Bajo de Macinlo Lake are still visible
06:42 to prevent fishermen from entering the Philippine Coast Guard and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
06:49 In addition, China is also jamming the automatic identification system of the PCG and BIFAR.
06:55 The AIS is giving the location of a ship in the sea using satellite technology.
07:00 This is included in the international regulations on the safety of the ocean.
07:05 They can be able to jam our AIS transmission signal.
07:10 The reason why they're doing this is for them to support their narrative
07:14 that every time we are there, they say they were successful in driving us away.
07:20 Because of the widespread destruction of the Chinese and Vietnamese coasts in the entire South China Sea,
07:26 Senator Francis Tolentino has passed a resolution to investigate the alleged and illegal use of the beach resort.
07:33 This is alarming. 21,000 acres of coral reefs were also destroyed.
07:39 But the use of cyanide is more serious because I now consider this as environmental terrorism.
07:48 Destruction of our marine resources through the use of cyanide.
07:55 The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources clarified the information that cyanide is used by China.
08:01 The cyanide in Macinlo Lake comes from the Philippine fishermen there.
08:05 Next weeks, BIFAR and marine scientists will conduct a thorough study.
08:11 That's why we need to have a further assessment.
08:14 So we can see what the cause of the destruction is.
08:20 Is it cyanide? What other destructive fishing methods were used to cause the destruction of the coral reefs in the area?
08:30 In an interview, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy said that
08:33 the use of cyanide in Macinlo Lake is just a baseless and fake event.
08:41 The Chinese Foreign Ministry has again restricted the use of cyanide in Macinlo Lake,
08:47 even though it is part of our Exclusive Economic Zone.
08:51 The Vietnamese Embassy has not yet announced the date.
08:55 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Chino Gaston, your witness.
08:59 The bill is being passed to receive a 10,000 pesos cash gift from senior citizens who are over 80.
09:07 This is in line with the Centenarian Act that President Bongbong Marcos signed earlier.
09:12 Senior citizens who are over 80 will receive a 10,000 pesos cash gift.
09:17 They will receive a 10,000 pesos cash gift when they are 85, 90, and 95 years old.
09:25 And when they reach 100, they will receive a 100,000 pesos cash gift.
09:31 The fund for this will be 2.2 billion pesos in 2025.
09:35 You just need to register with the Office of Senior Citizen Affairs of your local government.
09:41 The new gold medal will be given to Pinoy Paul Volter and World No. 2 EJ Oviena
09:53 at the Internacional Estadion Pesto Istaf 2024 in Berlin, Germany.
09:58 He finished the 5.93 meters in two attempts.
10:05 This is a new national and Asian record in the indoor pool vault.
10:08 Just last week, Oviena also won a gold medal in Croatia.
10:13 Oviena also won the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland on March 3.
10:19 He is also one of the surest in the 2024 Paralympics.
