00:00 The rise in the price of rice was one of the reasons for the faster inflation this month, according to the National Economic and Development Authority or NEDA.
00:09 Another factor affecting inflation is the high price of oil, which is expected to rise next week.
00:16 Witnessed by Bernadette Rea.
00:18 In the latest survey of Pulse Asia, the rise in inflation or the rise in the price of services and goods is the leading national concern of the Filipinos.
00:29 In this time, it is difficult to budget, especially if there are 14 members of the family, like Mercy.
00:35 That's why we really need a discount, just like buying rice.
00:38 If we want delicious rice, the tag 62 is really delicious, but we lack the other half. That's why we buy the tag 55.
00:49 The rise in inflation or the rise in the price of rice is one of the reasons for the faster inflation this month. The rise in inflation reached 24.4% this month, almost reaching the all-time high of the price of rice in February 2009.
01:04 The explanation of the DA seems to have increased the price quickly because it compares to the time when the price of rice is not yet increasing.
01:11 The expectation is that it will increase strongly until July because of the base effect, unless there is really some intervention that will happen in the market.
01:21 Based on the data of the Philippine Statistics Authority, the average price of regular milled rice reached more than Php 51 per kilo in March.
01:29 While the well-milled rice is at more than Php 56 per kilo. But based on the latest data of the Department of Agriculture this April, there are people who can buy regular and well-milled rice for Php 48 per kilo.
01:42 Since January, the price of rice is slowly going down. We are now seeing Php 47, Php 48, Php 49, but our prevailing is at Php 49.50.
01:53 The problem is that the supply of cheap rice in Liman is not yet enough, like in the Commonwealth Market.
01:59 It's sold out. It's cheaper compared to other types of rice. It's cheaper, maybe.
02:07 It can't be reduced completely because the price is low. Its quality is just getting better.
02:13 The increase in gasoline prices also contributed to the increase in inflation and the price of restaurants and accommodation also increased.
02:21 While traffic is increasing, the driver's income is decreasing.
02:24 And next week, the oil price is again high. According to the Department of Energy Oil Industry Management Bureau,
02:31 the possible increase in price per liter of gasoline, diesel and kerosene based on the four-day trading is more than Php 1.
02:38 As a visible reason, the widespread of the Sigalot-Munsun war between Israel and Hamas is worrying.
02:45 The same is the case of Ukraine's attack on the oil refineries of Russia.
02:49 OPEC's decision to continue its policy of reducing crude oil production and increasing demand in America and India.
02:56 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your "Saksi".
03:00 The local government of Valenzuela has ordered the Department of Health to suspend the license to operate of Allied Care Experts or ACE Medical Center.
03:09 This is while the investigation is being conducted on the claim of the birth of a patient who did not leave the hospital until the bill has been paid.
03:17 In spite of the continued suspension of the operation of the hospital, Mayor Wes Gatchalian promised that a public hospital in Valenzuela is ready to receive the patient.
03:25 Today, GMA Integrated News called the ACE Medical Center again but they did not give an explanation.
03:34 The Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Manny Calayan, filed a complaint against his partner regarding the investment scam.
03:40 He has a warrant against the woman because he stole Php 3 million from another victim.
03:46 "Saksi" by Emil Sumangil exclusive.
03:48 The Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Manny Calayan, filed a complaint against one of his partners
04:03 for allegedly having a few times cheated on a contract to supply cigarettes and drinks to a hotel casino in Metro Manila.
04:11 Based on the complaint filed by Calayan against the NBA player, Michelle Alfaro, alias Bel Magadia,
04:18 he promised that he will not lower his investment by less than 10 percent.
04:23 But in the end, Calayan was surprised that no one is returning his investment.
04:30 He confronted the suspect.
04:33 His money was amlad, cash on hold, his money is in BSP, he cannot withdraw it.
04:40 He did not show it anymore, he hid it. We were locked.
04:45 Calayan received a lot of money but he did not want to mention how much in our report.
04:51 He tried to call and talk to his partner but he was gnosed.
04:57 It is a pity for those who earn money, they are working hard.
05:01 We will look at the complaint of our complainant, we will investigate it,
05:07 and we will check the background of the person who is being complained.
05:12 If we can find other cases.
05:18 The first one to be issued by the court is Alfaro.
05:22 After being accused of 3 million pesos investment by the businesswoman, Jenny Mitra.
05:28 According to Mitra, the doctor introduced her to him.
05:32 She was asked to invest in the buy and sell of gift cheques of another hotel casino.
05:38 But after she was given the money, she was nervous.
05:42 Her answer to him.
05:44 I will deposit Good Friday inside me.
05:48 I was really shocked and embarrassed because how can you deposit Good Friday of more than 3 million pesos?
05:54 All the banks are closed.
05:55 She tried to talk to him again.
05:57 He has a lot of toxic reasons in the hospital because he is a doctor.
06:01 Which is not a big deal.
06:02 I told him, when you are taking money from me,
06:06 you go to my house at any time, even at night, morning, afternoon, and afternoon.
06:11 Why now that I need my money, you have a lot of reasons.
06:15 She tried to talk to him again before he left.
06:18 The GMA Integrated News also tried to talk to Alfaro.
06:22 But all the numbers that the complainants gave us were not contacted.
06:28 For GMA Integrated News, Emil Sumangin, your witness.
06:32 Face-to-face classes were suspended in Cebu Provincial Government and a university in Cebu due to the hot weather.
06:41 In Cebu, the Governor suspended in-person classes for all public and private schools in the province from preschool to high school.
06:51 This is effective today and until when it is needed.
06:55 Cebu Normal University also canceled in-person classes and online modalities started yesterday.
07:05 The highest official of the country received a positive net satisfaction rating based on the survey of the social weather station in the last quarter of 2023.
07:14 The Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte received a very good or positive 61%.
07:20 She received a higher rating in the third quarter of 2023.
07:23 The satisfaction rating of Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri remained good or positive 44%.
07:30 House Speaker Martin Romualdez received a positive 28% or moderate.
07:35 Chief Justice Alexander Gismundo received a good or positive 32% higher in the next quarter.
07:42 The survey was conducted from December 8 to 11, 2023 among 1,200 respondents aged 18 and above.
07:50 Carlos Yulo promised that the Filipino Olympians will make up for the hardship of Heidelin Diaz who qualified for the Paris Olympics.
07:58 Before the Olympics, the World Gymnastics Champion will compete in another international tournament.
08:03 J.P. Soriano will be the witness.
08:05 More than three months before the 2024 Paris Olympics,
08:13 the World Gymnastics Champion and the Filipino Olympian Carlos Yulo will compete in two World Gymnastics Tournaments
08:21 which are both part of the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup Series on April 17 in Qatar and May in Uzbekistan.
08:30 These two tournaments are important for Carlos Yulo before he competes in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
08:37 I want to try my best to improve my nerves and my skills in the competition.
08:43 I want to make mistakes in these competitions so that I know what I will adjust in the Olympics.
08:54 This March, Yulo competed in the FIG Apparatus World Cup Series in Baku, Azerbaijan
09:01 where he won a bronze medal in the Men's Floor Exercise.
09:06 After the competition, his coach analyzed his performance and saw that he needs to improve and strengthen.
09:17 I had a lot of realizations.
09:20 I saw a lot of things that I should have seen.
09:24 So, I learned from that.
09:26 Yulo's target is to win a medal in other events in the upcoming Olympics.
09:32 My goal in the Olympics is to win an individual all-around medal.
09:37 I want to win six medals, not just a floor, vault, or P-bar.
09:43 In Japan, Carlos trained under the coaching of Munehiro Kugimiya for many years.
09:51 Although Kugimiya is no longer Carlos' coach, he is very grateful for his help.
09:58 He is the one who saw my potential. I am very thankful to him, to my coach.
10:05 He is very smart when it comes to gymnastics and sports.
10:10 He provided all the needs when I was in Japan.
10:16 Yulo is very thankful to his new coach, Aldrin Castañeda, and other coaches in the team.
10:28 He also promised his fellow Filipinos that he will be with them in the upcoming Olympics.
10:31 I am sure that I will give my all in the upcoming Olympics.
10:37 Since he will only be able to face a world champion like Carlos Yulo, I asked him how he does his stretching.
10:48 He said he can do it for non-athletes and any age group.
10:53 I just do it up. For the wrist.
10:57 You do it up?
10:58 Yes, for the wrist.
10:59 What is the purpose of doing it?
11:02 It is serious. The nerve in the wrist goes like this.
11:12 So that the muscles here can stretch.
11:15 And of course, the joints that stretch.
11:18 At the end of the competition, Kaloy left a message to his sister, Heidelyn,
11:23 the 2020 Tokyo Olympics gold medalist for weightlifting.
11:28 After not reaching the score to qualify for the Paris Olympics.
11:33 We will get you back in the Olympics. We will get you back.
11:37 For GMA Integrated News, I am JP Soriano, your witness.
11:43 Not only the history of the match in Intramuros and Resort Park this April, but also the Filipino food.
11:50 And in the other side, full of eyes and thoughts, the hidden hits in history and for relaxation.
11:57 Our witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
11:59 Perfect cone, perfect view.
12:06 That is why Quetinan Hills in Kamalig, Albay was chosen because of the breathtaking scenery of Volcano Mayon.
12:13 It is also perfect for strong throwback, which is the transportation of our ancestors' time.
12:21 Horseback riding.
12:23 Speaking of mega throwback, let's check the history of the attraction.
12:28 The Japanese tunnels were built by the Japanese soldiers during World War II.
12:36 You can see inside the weapons and the officers' patience.
12:41 They have experience in the Japanese tunnels here.
12:45 But it's not only the Japanese tunnels that we have fun here.
12:49 But if history is the topic, there are many other lessons in the history of Intramuros in Manila.
12:57 If you go there now, you will not only think of getting full, but also of eating.
13:03 Now, Filipino Food Month, many Filipino restaurants are open.
13:09 G-na-G, in trying Filipino foods, is the German, Martin Henry.
13:14 I tried the bloody pork, menudo, and adobo.
13:22 That's good. So what do you think of Filipino food?
13:25 I like it. I like it.
13:27 In Dikalayuan, Rizal Park is where the food bazaar of Kilometro Zero was set up.
13:34 It was joined by the former street vendors.
13:37 Filipino food is number one. I said that Filipinos will not save even if it's expensive when it comes to food.
13:44 And we are rich in the culture of food.
13:46 The vendors went through a test and training so the stores are clean.
13:51 That's why Ruth is proud that despite her hard work in treating cancer, she is hands-on in keeping their position.
14:01 I always tell them that my cancer is not my death, but the one where they don't have hair net, ma'am.
14:08 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
14:15 My fellow Filipinos, let's be witnesses together.
