00:00 2 out of 4 bidders voted for the online voting counting system of overseas voting in the 2025 elections.

00:07 This is one of the lowest calculated bids, but it is still below the evaluation of COMELEC before declaring a winning bidder.

00:16 The project has a budget of Php 465.8 million.

00:21 COMELEC also made sure that online voting is secure.

00:24 Registered voters need to enroll to vote online using an application or app.

00:31 They are given a week to vote.

00:34 COMELEC hopes that this will allow more Filipinos to vote abroad.

00:40 Along with bonding, this hot weather also spread "kuto".

00:46 Mark Salazar is a witness.

00:51 Now that it's hot, many youths have a problem with the spread of "kuto".

00:56 Some children in Isabela are having a hard time sleeping.

00:59 This 11-year-old boy in Ilocos Norte cut his hair short to remove the "kuto".

01:06 His cousins moved to another place so that he won't get infected.

01:10 The "kuto" also has a problem in the house of the mother we talked to in Marikina.

01:16 Even she is infected with the "kuto" of her child.

01:19 I'm with my children.

01:21 You're also helping out.

01:22 Yes, but only in numbers.

01:24 It's not like this, there are many.

01:26 The Department of Health said that the "kuto" is not in the shower, but in the use of things.

01:33 Because you're next to them, you're borrowing clothes, hats, whatever you put on their heads, the "kuto" can be transferred to the shower.

01:52 It's not like that.

01:53 So, some may get infected.

01:56 Why is the "kuto" hot?

01:59 The DOH said that the "kuto" likes to live and lay eggs, hot hair and sweaty sweat.

02:06 The "kuto" also likes summer bonding with children to get infected.

02:13 According to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine,

02:17 children 3 to 12 years old are the ones who have the "kuto" infestation.

02:23 The Center for Disease Control of America clarified that the "kuto" does not bring any disease,

02:29 so it's not considered a public health hazard.

02:32 The "kuto" of a person is not also taken from pets like dogs and cats.

02:37 There are medicines for the "kuto" that can be asked to a dermatologist,

02:42 aside from washing clothes, beddings and towels thoroughly so that the "kuto" is not infected.

02:50 For the GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.

02:55 Pulse Asia released the results of their 2028 Presidential and Vice Presidential Preference Survey,

03:45 67% approved of the performance of Vice President.

04:40 11% voted for former Vice President Lani Robredo, along with Senator Amy Marcos, Manny Pacquiao,

04:47 Senator Robin Padilla, Senator Isa Ontiveros, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, former President Rodrigo Duterte and Cisco Moreno.

04:56 They also gave the names of those who could run for vice president.

08:32 Marinduque Provincial Veterinarian added that they are in control of the spread of infection among people.

08:39 According to the Department of Agriculture, no one has been diagnosed with rabies due to eating infected animals.

08:47 They say that they are not allowed to eat this even if it is boiling.

08:52 The survey was conducted again on the meat they will buy.

08:55 There is a possibility that the infected animal will be transferred when eaten.

09:00 That's why we are very careful in NMIS on approving pork and cattle.

09:06 You need to have NMIS if you will buy pork or cattle.

09:13 According to the Health Department, rabies is rare in eating.

09:18 The virus does not live when the animal is dead.

09:29 The possibility is that the brain is cooked and the virus is there.

09:38 Although, as far as I can report, we are not sure if you can get rabies if you eat that kind of meat.

09:49 The recommendation is to get vaccinated.
