00:00 [Music]
00:11 Good morning. Here are the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.
00:17 President Marcos has asked that no country recognizes the 10-9 China Line
00:23 that was built to accommodate a large part of the South China Sea.
00:28 [Music]
00:31 We have not rejected any proposals that China has made to us.
00:34 But the premise is something that we question.
00:40 And that premise that China has made is that their territory follows what is now described as a 10-9 line.
00:50 This is not recognized by any country, any international body, certainly not by the Philippines.
00:57 [Music]
00:59 The issue in South China Sea is one of the topics being discussed by the President and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin.
01:06 The President said that the Philippines is having a hard time negotiating with China
01:10 because it is repeatedly entering the exclusive economic zone of our country.
01:15 China is also not recognizing the 2016 arbitral ruling that says that the 9-9 China Line in the South China Sea has no basis.
01:24 Chancellor Scholz said that it is important for them to respect and follow international laws
01:30 like the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS, and the arbitral ruling.
01:36 [Music]
01:38 Respect for international law is of the greatest importance for us.
01:41 And the same is true for the laws, international law, that govern international navigation.
01:47 We support the Philippines in ensuring that the rights are being protected.
01:52 China has not yet given a direct answer to the President's statement on their 10-9 line.
01:58 The Philippines was first accused by Chinese Foreign Minister Spokesperson Wang Wenbin
02:04 of having "conflicts" and "confusion" in the sea.
02:08 This is what is damaging the dialogue and cooperation between the two countries.
02:12 Even now, they are still ready to negotiate with the Philippines while doing everything possible to protect their territory and sovereign rights.
02:21 [Music]
02:24 The number of victims of hijacked profile scams is increasing, said the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group.
02:31 According to the PNP-ACG, there were 178 cases from November 2023 to February 2024.
02:41 Only 88 cases were registered in the past month.
02:44 If there is a link that is linked to a reward or job,
02:49 it is possible for your account to be hijacked and your profile to be used to ask for money from your acquaintances.
02:56 To avoid being victimized by the police, do not just click on the link on social media.
03:01 And do not just download attachments.
03:05 Use a strong and not ordinary password and enable multi-factor authentication on your accounts.
03:12 Report to the authorities if you think your account has been hacked.
03:18 [Music]
03:19 Classes in some provinces were suspended yesterday due to the hot weather.
03:24 To discuss this, we will have Assistant Secretary Francis Bringas of the Department of Education.
03:31 Good morning to you, sir.
03:33 Hi, good morning Susan. Good morning to all the viewers and listeners of your program.
03:38 Second, this hot weather is a new problem in schools.
03:43 What are the adjustments or things that we learned to improve and not disturb the students' studies?
03:50 I remember last year, some students were killed in schools. Is that right, Asec?
03:54 Yes, that's right Susan. Last year, we already had this situation and we addressed it last year.
04:00 And our police will continue to carry this out.
04:04 We have authority, our school heads and school distribution superintendent, to suspend our face-to-face classes if ever we experience hot weather in our school.
04:15 And we are also allowing those who are not wearing uniforms to wear uniforms so that their bodies will be more comfortable and not hot when they are inside our school.
04:26 So, it's up to you, Asec, on the adjustments that you made.
04:30 But school heads, do they have the right to decide if they will suspend or not?
04:34 And if ever, will they do something to make up for the days they missed in class?
04:41 Yes, definitely, Susan. Since they are the school managers, they have that authority given to them.
04:48 And we expect that they will exercise very wide discretion when it comes to suspension of classes,
04:55 including the provision of intervention activities for lost hours inside the classroom.
05:00 Yes, Asec. The hope is growing. The heat will be even higher in the coming months.
05:07 How is this being prepared by the DepEd? Have we already cascaded this to all schools so that they know what to do if the heat of the time is still high?
05:19 Well, yes. Until May, according to El Nino, and definitely, this policy is cascaded to them.
05:27 And we will have reiterations so that they will be reminded of all that they will do.
05:33 They should know what to do if they will experience the extreme heat.
05:41 That's right, Susan. And maybe they are feeling it, all the people inside the classroom are feeling it.
05:48 So they should be able to exercise their authority over that.
05:52 Asec, will the transition to June be accelerated? The start of the class?
05:57 Well, we have accelerated it actually because after our consultation, our original plan of five years transition to June,
06:06 it looks like we will be back to June opening in three years.
06:11 We have different plans. Asec, can you comment on the call of some teachers group to stop the catch-up Fridays?
06:21 The call to suspend the catch-up Fridays is not our intention.
06:28 Instead, we will be enhancing the implementation of our catch-up Fridays.
06:34 We are still in the third month of implementation and definitely we have adjustments that we need to do.
06:40 We have feedback coming from our field and that's what we will address so that it will be better if we will give the implementation of catch-up Fridays.
06:49 Of course, the teachers have concerns. What can be given and solved immediately, Asec?
06:56 Well, first of all, our provision of options for learners and reading materials in relation to catch-up Fridays
07:06 so that it will not be an additional cost to our learners or teachers and even parents.
07:13 Of course, we will provide structured activities for the subjects that we will get in catch-up Fridays.
07:21 Okay. Thank you very much, DepEd. Assistant Secretary Francis Bringas, good morning to you.
07:27 Good morning, Susan. Thank you so much.
07:29 Thank you so much.
07:30 Good news for the Peel Health members this National Women's Month.
07:39 Starting in July, there will be free mammograms and ultrasound screenings for female members of Peel Health every year.
07:46 This is part of the expansion of primary care benefits under the consulta package of the agency.
07:52 Our Health Secretary, Chedoro Herbosa, this will help in early detection of cancer and other diseases.
07:59 The average life expectancy of people around the world is decreasing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
08:13 This is based on studies. According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation of 2020 and 2021,
08:21 84 percent of the life expectancy in 204 countries was decreased.
08:28 The study also found that 22 percent of the rate of death or rapid death of men aged 15 years old was increased,
08:36 while 70 percent of women aged the same age and time.
08:42 COVID-19 was also the cause of excess deaths or the number of deaths of 15.9 million in 2020 and 2021.
08:52 Studies also found that the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is more severe for adults around the world
08:58 than the effect of any other pandemic like typhoons.
09:02 After the approval of the San Carlos Negros Occidental Act,
09:08 motorcycle riders are not allowed to use full-face helmets, especially when talking to the Metro Manila Council.
09:15 For the reaction of the riders, we have live news with James and Steve.
09:20 James.
09:22 Good morning. The reasons of the motorcycle riders I talked to are different
09:29 on why they are using full-face or half-face helmets on their trips.
09:34 But most of them favor, if ever there will be a law here in Metro Manila,
09:39 that they should use half-face helmets, just like what is being implemented in a city, San Carlos Occidental.
09:46 As a delivery rider, Conrado's work is not less than eight hours a day.
09:54 On every trip, his partner is his half-face helmet.
09:57 Full-face helmet is hot on the face. Second, it's hard to breathe when you're tired.
10:04 For riders like us, like me, who are on the road almost every day,
10:09 sometimes we run slowly and we can't keep up.
10:13 So we want to rest more when we travel for a long time.
10:17 If the food delivery rider, Jim, will be the one to ask, it's better to use full-face helmets.
10:23 It's safer for the rider, sir. In case of an accident on the road,
10:33 you're still safe, sir. Because your head is protected.
10:42 The motorcycle taxi rider, Eric, is carrying two half-face helmets.
10:47 One for him and one for the passenger.
10:50 Full-face helmets are better to ensure safety.
10:55 In case of an accident, but because of what is being implemented,
11:00 to see the face of the passenger and the rider, we can't do anything.
11:05 In San Carlos Negros Occidental, Executive Order 89 was passed in February
11:11 that orders motorcycle riders and taxi drivers to wear half-face helmets.
11:16 One of the reasons is that the incident of the crime involving riders and taxi drivers
11:22 wearing full-face helmets and bonnets is alarming.
11:25 It is allowed to wear full-face helmets in some places in the city.
11:29 Here in Metro Manila, no such order has been issued yet,
11:32 but the Metro Manila Council can study this.
11:35 The riders we talked to are also ready to follow the order.
11:39 In the case of a crime, especially in road raids,
11:46 it is hard to identify the criminals wearing full-face helmets.
11:52 There is no problem with that, especially now that crime is becoming more common.
11:59 It is easier to identify the criminals.
12:04 It is easier to identify the criminals.
12:09 I have no choice.
12:11 I have no choice in what they will do.
12:14 One of the concerns of motorcycle riders wearing full-face helmets
12:23 that I talked to is that if such an order is issued here in Metro Manila,
12:28 they will be forced to buy new helmets and new bonnets for them.
12:34 That is the first news from Caloocan.
12:36 I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
12:39 We are here at Naia Terminal 3.
12:42 We have been here since early morning.
12:45 We saw that the number of vehicles are increasing.
12:48 In fact, the number of passengers has decreased,
12:52 but earlier, this road was very narrow.
12:55 It was a road that leads to Naia Terminal 3.
12:58 Now, the number of passengers has decreased, but as we can see, it is still heavy.
13:02 The traffic is still heavy.
13:04 The number of vehicles that drop off passengers here at Naia Terminal 3 is still increasing.
13:10 It is summer now.
13:11 It is peak season in airports, especially in two weeks.
13:14 We will be back.
13:15 We expect that many of our countrymen will return to their provinces.
13:20 This is the effort of Manila International Airport Authority and the management of Naia
13:27 to solve this problem of pests.
13:32 This pest of rats first went viral in the seats here in Naia.
13:41 They have already done a way to do this.
13:43 They have instructed pest control services to clean the seats.
13:48 This was followed by a viral incident where a rat was running inside the terminal.
13:55 They have already put adhesive boards and rat traps.
14:02 But of course, they have taken care to open the terminal completely.
14:09 This airport, like the ones we talked about earlier, is the first place where we can see our visitors.
14:18 That is why it is very important that it is clean and tidy so that the travel experience will be pleasant.
14:26 Not only for foreign travelers, but also for domestic travelers.
14:32 We will continue to get the management of the airport so that we can get updates on their activities to solve this problem.
14:45 That is the latest from Naia Travel 3. Let's go back to the studio.
14:48 The Senate Committee on Games and Amusement Chairman, Rafi Tulfo, believed that a winner,
14:56 the Philippines Charities Swift Stakes Office, will be awarded the 20-time winner of the lottery within a month.
15:02 It is based on the list of winners that the Philippine Charities Swift Stakes Office has selected.
15:06 PCSO is open for investigation.
15:09 To give us a clearer explanation on this issue, we will watch live from PCSO's studio, General Manager Mel Robles.
15:19 Good morning GML.
15:21 Good morning to you.
15:23 Just to be clear, the list came from you.
15:26 Yes.
15:27 Correct. So PCSO became transparent.
15:30 Second, is there really a winner of the lottery 20 times within a month?
15:38 Okay. In the beginning, in jackpot, there is no such thing.
15:43 This is not a jackpot.
15:44 This is not a jackpot.
15:45 Okay.
15:46 This is not 642, 648.
15:48 This is not a jackpot.
15:50 We are sure of this because there is no one who won 20 jackpot games in one month.
15:55 But a person can claim 20 times or even more than 20 times in our other games.
16:04 Our games are not just jackpot.
16:06 We have 2D, 3D, 4D, 6D, the lower tier games.
16:11 The practice is that even before I came, the claiming of 10,000 and above is done in our branch.
16:21 The 10,000 and below can be claimed in the outlet.
16:25 They can claim it there.
16:27 But the 10,000 and above, most likely in our branch in the capital.
16:35 And if you are in the province, you only have access to the outlet, you will go to the capital where our branch is located.
16:43 So for that matter, what others do is they will just go to the owner of the outlet and ask for it.
16:50 Maybe at a discount or reduce the amount of massage because others don't have ID.
16:55 Sometimes, physically, they cannot do it.
16:56 So this is regular.
16:57 Even before I came, that is the practice.
17:00 They will ask for a claim.
17:01 So you mean the winner cannot get it?
17:04 Yes.
17:05 The claimant of the winning ticket is not necessarily the winner.
17:09 Because this is not a jackpot?
17:11 It is not a jackpot.
17:12 The jackpot is you personally go to the business.
17:14 These are your other games.
17:15 We call it the lower tier.
17:18 So it is possible that this person won 20 times.
17:21 He claimed.
17:22 Let's clarify that.
17:23 Okay.
17:24 It is possible that he claimed 20 times or even more.
17:26 That he did not win?
17:27 Not necessarily because it is like a pay-to-cash check.
17:31 If you hold it, that is it.
17:33 So in your list, GM, have you verified who this person is?
17:38 Yes.
17:39 We have a bigger list.
17:42 And it came out that there are outlet owners who really do that.
17:47 And we will present that if they need it.
17:49 What is bigger?
17:51 Their claim is more than 20?
17:53 Yes.
17:54 And it is regular.
17:55 It is regular.
17:56 Because this is not a jackpot.
17:58 This is the daily winning of 4D, 3D.
18:03 How much is that?
18:04 40,000.
18:05 Okay.
18:06 100,000.
18:07 So it is 300,000.
18:09 It is possible that this person is just a rule of the winners.
18:12 Or the biggest.
18:13 Or he is also the winner.
18:15 He can also be the winner.
18:17 But it is not conclusive that he is the winner.
18:19 Especially if it is a jackpot.
18:20 It is not impossible.
18:21 No.
18:22 Because if he is regular in going to PCSO because he claimed that he won,
18:26 he will also be the one who will be ordered to go.
18:28 No.
18:29 Is that possible?
18:30 That is possible.
18:31 And the one who owns the lot out, he regularly gets the papers from our branch.
18:35 So it is very natural that whoever that is, you will be with him for so many reasons.
18:41 Of course, if the public heard that,
18:43 one of our problems now is the trust in the system of PCSO.
18:48 Maybe some people don't like it because it is unfair.
18:53 So the result of our lot will not be manipulated anymore.
18:57 No.
18:58 That is in full view of everybody.
19:00 And it is live.
19:02 Anyone can go to us.
19:04 As long as we can fit in the place.
19:06 We can watch that.
19:08 And the result is immediately instantaneous.
19:11 At 8.30, all the trust is being embargoed.
19:14 No one can enter the system.
19:17 And the draw starts at 9 o'clock.
19:19 So in 30 minutes, no one will enter.
19:21 In the reaction of the public, there is a winner.
19:25 Did you monitor whether the sales went down or increased because some were inspired and won?
19:35 So what is your monitoring, GM?
19:37 God have mercy.
19:39 It is still the same.
19:40 Of course, it went down when we ran by triply.
19:45 It really increased.
19:46 The only secret and we proved how the sales went down is through the jackpot.
19:52 This is a jackpot bearing.
19:53 The jackpot is bigger.
19:55 There are more people who will win.
19:56 There is no other formula.
19:57 Jackpot bearing.
19:58 Senator Tulfo also questioned why there are always winners when there is a draw.
20:02 Now, there is an e-lotto.
20:04 Before, it takes months for someone to win.
20:07 But now, it is regular because of the e-lotto.
20:11 Did you monitor that?
20:13 Actually, to compare more often, you should have a basis.
20:20 Before, it takes 3 months.
20:22 Now, it takes 10 months.
20:24 That is what we are looking for because we cannot see the dramatic disparity.
20:29 It is still the same.
20:31 It is the same from year to year.
20:33 You will look at it year to year, month to month.
20:35 If you say you are higher now, there is always a reference point.
20:39 There is nothing to say why it is more often.
20:41 If we show the data, it is still the same.
20:44 Senator Lotto is mentioning a code.
20:47 The route access.
20:50 Route access.
20:51 Is it only you and your assistant who have it?
20:54 No.
20:55 That is route access for administrative purposes.
20:57 I can see that.
20:58 You cannot edit that.
21:00 We are just looking at the sales of each branch.
21:03 Explain it to us because he is saying that the route code can be manipulated
21:07 because it is only you and you should give it to the chairman.
21:12 You are not the assistant of the chairman, GM.
21:14 I am the management.
21:16 I cannot do that under the contract of the Philippine Lottery System.
21:20 That is under the GM's contract.
21:22 I cannot do that.
21:23 I have passed that.
21:24 But that is for the purposes of administrative.
21:27 It is impossible to change that because it is already published.
21:30 It is immediately.
21:31 It is impossible for the route code, route access to be the source of what Dian is saying.
21:38 This is what is saddening.
21:40 We invited all the senators to go there.
21:43 Their experts were there to look at it.
21:45 It has been a long time.
21:46 Did anyone go?
21:47 No.
21:48 No one has been allowed to go yet.
21:50 Look at this.
21:51 Should we remove this thread?
21:54 I think we should go progressive.
21:58 When you saw the COVID-19, the PCSO was even scolded by the house members.
22:05 Why don't you have an option?
22:07 You don't have an option because your charity will stop if you don't have one.
22:13 This is one of the contingencies.
22:15 Actually, this thread is still small because we are not yet promoting it.
22:20 But at least if something similar happens, we have an option.
22:24 The world is going digitally.
22:26 As you can see, there are a lot of threads.
22:28 We don't need to have it.
22:30 We will know who is the one.
22:32 GM, what are our steps to have a trust issue here?
22:35 So that it won't be said that it is being manipulated.
22:41 Number one, I am really making myself visible.
22:45 I am giving time to explain to people.
22:48 And our challenge is to go and bring your experts and bring the data.
22:52 If you will confront us, please bring the data.
22:55 And if you come from us, you can call us.
22:58 So that we can explain the data.
23:00 There is no one more authoritative than the author.
23:05 That's why he is an author.
23:07 He is an authority in what he did.
23:09 We are only a phone call away.
23:11 We are always willing.
23:12 The PCSO will continue to patronize because we are the one who wins.
23:19 It's harder if no one wins.
23:22 Do you have an invitation to Senator Rafi Tulfo to go personally to the PCSO and see the system?
23:27 Yes, we have.
23:28 It's still standing.
23:29 Not only him, but all the members of the committee and other senators.
23:34 Message to the voters.
23:36 And to those who are angry that they are not winning.
23:39 We are here for the people who are working.
23:43 In every field, there are people who are working.
23:45 Let's remember that.
23:46 That is the slogan we are using.
23:48 And remember that even if you are a basher, we will still help you.
23:53 Thank you very much for your time and explanation.
23:57 PCSO General Manion Mel Robles.
23:59 Take care.
24:00 Thank you very much.
24:01 This April is the comeback of Capucho's prime time queen, Marian Rivera, in JMA Prime.
24:16 In the series, My Guardian Alien.
24:18 She can say, "My friend, I am an alien."
24:23 Mommy, this book you wrote is my favorite. It's beautiful.
24:27 There's no such thing as an alien.
24:29 Marian will meet for the first time in the upcoming family drama series, Gabi Concepcion.
24:34 Their child will be born, Sparkle Child star Rafael Landicho.
24:39 The story is that their favorite bonding time is eating and dancing with the cast and production crew.
24:46 For now, Marian is extra picky in choosing projects.
24:50 That's why in her extraordinary role here as alien, she made sure that her children will relate.
24:58 Is Marian open to work with Zia and Sixto in future projects?
25:06 Actually, it's not that we are being picky with them.
25:10 Of course, we respect the privacy of the children.
25:12 But not to the point that we hide anything that we show on social media.
25:17 It's just a guess. It's what really happens in real life.
25:20 Before we travel to Czech Republic,
25:27 President Bongbong Marcos is meeting the Filipino community in Berlin, Germany.
25:32 Eight alliances that are related to military-grade armored personnel carriers and solar cell manufacturing facility
25:39 were signed by the Philippines and Germany.
25:42 We have live news. Rafi Tima.
25:45 Rafi.
25:47 Egan, let's remember that it's an early morning here in Berlin, Germany,
25:54 where the President just finished his last activity for his first full day of working visit here in Germany.
26:01 After he helped the Filipino community.
26:04 Before this, the President also helped the business leaders
26:08 where he got four billion dollars of investment.
26:12 President Bongbong Marcos signed eight alliances after his first full day of working visit here in Germany.
26:24 Among the MOUs, the investment is in a plant that will make armored protected cars and military-grade armored personnel carriers
26:32 and solar cell manufacturing facility.
26:34 The alliances will reach four billion US dollars or 220 billion pesos if they are successful.
26:40 The alliances are not direct investments but the government hopes that through the President's visit,
26:46 the investors will be able to not only continue but also increase their investments in the country.
26:52 Before the German-Philippine Business Forum,
26:54 German Chancellor Olaf Scholz hosted the President's arrival honours
26:58 when he arrived at the Chancellery, the office of the leader of Germany.
27:02 At the joint press conference of the two leaders,
27:04 the German Chancellor shared his personal experience of being a good friend to the Filipinos.
27:10 When he was still a lawyer, he defended the Filipinos who were seafarers.
27:14 He showed how important the Filipinos are in this field.
27:18 The two leaders also gave the importance of adhering to international law.
27:22 According to President Marcos, the Philippines is open to discuss the issue of the West Philippine Sea
27:27 but it should be in the right context.
27:30 The President reminded that no one knows the 10-dash line of China
27:34 that they based on the large part of the South China Sea.
27:38 We have not rejected any proposals that China has made to us.
27:45 But the premise is something that we question.
27:50 And that premise that China has made is that their territory
27:55 follows what is now described as a 10-dash line.
28:01 This is not recognised by any country, any international body,
28:06 certainly not by the Philippines.
28:08 We have the economic zone that China has already intruded upon.
28:17 And until that premise that China has made in terms of all its discussions with the Philippines,
28:25 then it's very difficult to see a way forward.
28:28 Respect for international law is of the greatest importance for us.
28:31 And the same is true for the laws, international law that govern international navigation.
28:38 We have the UN Convention on the Law of the Seas.
28:42 We've got an arbitral tribunal.
28:44 I believe it to be very important that each and everyone adheres to the legislation in place.
28:49 We support Philippines in ensuring that the rights are being protected.
28:57 The President thanked the Filipino community for their continued contribution
29:01 not only to the economy of the country but also to the people of the Philippines.
29:05 As a token, the government will ensure that the rights of the OFWs, wherever they are in the world, are protected.
29:12 The ability and skill of our OFWs is truly unparalleled.
29:21 That is why we must ensure that their conditions are good.
29:27 Their salary is correct. They have time to rest and to go on vacation.
29:31 They are treated with respect and are given the appropriate benefits according to the law here in Germany and wherever our countrymen are.
29:46 With the help of President Marcos and OFWs, some militant groups protested outside the venue.
29:52 They were guarded by the police.
29:55 This morning, President Marcos was able to go to a gas and turbine plant before he faced the Philippine media
30:02 and before he left for the Czech Republic for his state visit in Prague.
30:06 That is the latest from Berlin.
30:09 Thank you very much.
