00:03 Mobile Barangay Outpost at the end of Pedestrian Lane?
00:08 It's a big game for those crossing the Aguinaldo Highway in Cavite.
00:12 So, I'll give you a hint, Action Man!
00:15 [music]
00:18 At first glance, it seems like there's no problem with the location of this Mobile Barangay Outpost
00:23 on one side of the Aguinaldo Highway in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
00:26 [music]
00:31 But, to be honest, to your heart, Action Man, this is a big problem for those crossing the highway.
00:37 [music]
00:39 It's almost occupied by the other end of the Pedestrian Lane.
00:43 [music]
00:45 The people are on the side. They should be on the other side of the Aguinaldo Highway.
00:50 We should really remove it so that it won't be a problem for those crossing the highway.
00:54 In 2018, the Outpost was placed in a place that was recently turned over by the local government of Dasmariñas,
01:00 the Outpost in Barangay Sampaloc Uno.
01:03 But, instead of being able to help, it's just a hindrance.
01:07 Since it's not usually used or it's not really used,
01:11 I think that sometimes, or I can say that it's a hindrance.
01:17 Since when a lot of people are crossing, it's a hindrance.
01:19 It's stealing space where in fact, it can be used by people.
01:24 The Pedestrian Lane is not enough for us.
01:29 We have even spotted people crossing the highway, patrolling the outskirts of the Outpost.
01:36 Your heart, Action Man, has fallen for the local government of Dasmariñas
01:40 and they immediately seized the place to start a complaint.
01:45 We will move the mobile outpost in Barangay Sampaloc Uno so that it won't be a hindrance.
01:50 Now, the mobile barangay outpost is being removed from the place where the complaint is being made.
01:56 The pedestrians are very thankful.
02:05 [Music]
02:16 Mission accomplished, Kapuso.
02:19 For your trials, just send it to the Kapuso Action Man Facebook page
02:22 because in any complaint of abuse or violation, there is direct action to your Kapuso Action Man.
02:30 PNP has already issued the official data of the shabbat shabu in the outskirts of Batangas.
02:37 According to the spokesperson of PNP, after the inventory,
02:41 the official weight of the shabbat drugs is 1.4 tons.
02:47 They also clarified from the initial 13.3 billion pesos,
02:52 the value of which is very likely to be 9.6 billion pesos.
02:57 PNP is still investigating where the drugs came from,
03:01 which is not found here in the Philippines.
03:04 According to DILG Secretary Benhur Abalos,
03:08 the driver of the van was already hit by several cases
03:12 where the shabbat shabu were driving,
03:14 he is now in jail in Batangas Provincial Police Office.
03:18 We made sure, we made sure, if you're going to look at yesterday,
03:24 if you're there, that our chief, that the chain of custody is very strictly followed.
03:31 We just want to make sure that this case is airtight, it's really airtight.
03:36 The Kamelec had grave abuse of discretion in disqualifying Smartmatic
03:44 in the bidding for the 2025 midterm elections according to the decision of the Supreme Court.
03:50 The court said that the Kamelec disqualified Smartmatic before it can eat the bid.
03:56 It also did not mention the eligibility requirements from the Bids and Awards Committee.
04:01 The court also said that this is not enough reason to void the visa
04:06 for the public bidding and award of the contract
04:09 that went to the partner company of Miru Systems.
04:12 Smartmatic can also be fired in the next elections according to the Supreme Court,
04:18 except if there is a disqualification against them.
04:22 The Kamelec is ready to face any complaints that Smartmatic may file if there is one.
04:28 Smartmatic said that it will return justice and remind of the importance of due process.
04:35 The payaw that were placed in some parts of the West Philippine Sea
04:40 are a big help to the Filipino fishermen.
04:43 There are old payaw in Bajo de Maciloc but were cut by the Chinese.
04:48 Raffy Lima was live.
04:51 Emilian Yang was invited by our fishermen to join us in BIFAR
04:59 and the fishermen tried their new fishing gears in Subic in the West Philippine Sea.
05:11 It was only early in the morning when the ring net was already laying the Filipino fishermen
05:15 around the payaw that BIFAR placed in the West Philippine Sea in Subic, Zambales.
05:20 They rode the new 21-meter steel hulled fishing boat and fiberglass boats from BIFAR.
05:27 After a few hours, this is their catch.
05:30 The fishing was okay, sir.
05:35 The payaw that we went to didn't have a lot of fish.
05:41 It's still a big help especially since they can't fish in Bajo de Maciloc.
05:45 There are also payaw outside Bahura but were cut by the Chinese.
05:49 A few days after the Philippine Coast Guard cut the floating barrier
05:53 that China laid at the entrance of Bajo last year.
05:56 What did the Chinese know?
05:58 That's the report of our fishermen in Escalvoro.
06:03 We will go back and put it back.
06:06 It was only a few days ago when the successful BIFAR of 10 payaw was laid in Recto Bank
06:10 despite the radio challenges and the fact that the two Chinese Coast Guard boats were cut in the middle.
06:15 The Philippines rejected the Chinese gate that is located around the payaw.
06:19 The floaters or the floaters that are used to put the coconut leaves
06:23 are being used by the small fish that are noisy to the big fish.
06:28 This is stationary, it doesn't move.
06:33 So we can't say that it can float under the sea.
06:38 Maybe if we can say that it's broken, that's the destruction of coral reefs
06:43 just to lay the structures illegally.
06:46 The BIFAR will strengthen the ability of the Filipino fishermen
06:49 not only to increase their catch but also not to be left behind
06:53 in the ongoing crisis that is plaguing the rich seas of the country.
06:58 The BIFAR will strengthen the payaw system and will put a tracker to monitor it easily.
07:03 Emil, earlier this morning, the fishermen were only able to lay 200 kilos
07:11 but this is because the payaw has been laying for only a week.
07:15 But they caught it.
07:17 There is a buyer here in Subic even though it didn't reach the traditional bulunga
07:20 that is happening at 10 o'clock in the evening here in the market of Subic.
07:25 There is a buyer here, so when it was laid, the buyers were able to catch it.
07:30 Even now, it is still considered a success to give new fishing gears
07:35 by the BIFAR to the fishermen.
07:37 That's why this project is still ongoing.
07:39 They will also give new boats and steel hulls for fishing.
07:45 Not only to the fishermen in the West Philippine Sea
07:48 but also to other fishing communities in other parts of the country.
07:52 That's all for now from Subic.
07:54 Emil?
07:55 Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
07:58 While we are just about to enter the news,
08:01 the red alert was raised in Visayas Grid.
08:04 Because of that, rotational brownouts can be carried out
08:08 according to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines or NGCP.
08:12 The red alert will be raised until 9 o'clock in the evening.
08:15 The yellow alert will be raised from 9 o'clock in the evening until 10 o'clock in the evening.
08:19 Two power plants tripped, so the electricity supply was reduced.
08:24 A strong investigation is being conducted to find out the number of foreign students in the country.
08:30 In Cagayan, two congressmen are in charge of the number of Chinese students,
08:36 which is more than 4,000 students in one university.
08:40 The capital and shareholder of the project is Oscar Oida.
08:43 [Music]
08:45 A two-congressmen from Cagayan Valley are being investigated
08:51 for the number of Chinese students enrolled in Tuguegarao City in Cagayan.
08:57 In their separate resolution,
08:59 the three-district representatives of Cagayan, Joseph Lara,
09:05 and Isabela, the six-district representative, Paustino Inodi,
09:09 are being investigated for possible involvement in the country's security and economy.
09:14 In an interview with the DZW,
09:16 Lara said that she received reports from her constituents
09:21 about 4,600 Chinese students studying in a university.
09:25 It's not a question that we are against foreign students.
09:30 We are just thinking, why all of a sudden,
09:33 the influx of Chinese students here,
09:36 why is everyone here afraid,
09:39 considering that we have an issue in China?
09:43 The two are in Cagayan in the new EDGA sites
09:46 as part of the US-China Cooperation.
09:49 And it is also one of the provinces near Taiwan
09:53 that is under tension in China.
09:55 In the forum held by the Higher Education Institution in Cagayan,
09:59 Governor Manuel Mamba,
10:02 the congressmen said that there were only 400 Chinese students there,
10:08 according to the report given to him by CHED Region 2.
10:13 He also said that he does not see any threat to the national security of the country.
10:18 I do not see any threat, but that is not for me to say,
10:21 because we have security agencies.
10:24 As far as I know, there was never a mention of the threat of the Chinese students' presence here
10:31 since I became ARCO and now EPOC, Head of our province.
10:38 The Commission on Higher Education in the area said that
10:42 the students were taught by the strict process and guidelines
10:47 in their admission to foreign students.
10:49 This Joint Memorandum Order No. 1, Series of 2017,
10:55 this is entitled "Consolidated Implementing Guidelines on the Entry
11:00 and Stay of Foreign Students in the Philippines,
11:03 pursuant to the Executive Order No. 285, Series of 2000."
11:10 So it is embedded in these guidelines all the qualifications,
11:14 eligibility of higher education institutions to become authorized to accept foreign students.
11:22 The Bureau of Immigration confirmed that they noticed the increase of foreign students in the country.
11:28 We saw that there is a part of the increase of the number of students,
11:32 not just in Cagayan area, but all over the Philippines after the pandemic.
11:36 Many of them continued their studies here in the Philippines.
11:40 According to the Bureau of Immigration, these are the top students,
11:45 based on their endorsements from their schools and CHED.
11:50 We receive reports from the school every time they renew their visas.
11:55 The school sends us information whether the student is still continuing with their studies
12:03 or not, or if they will withdraw.
12:05 If the student withdraws, we downgrade the visa and we send the student back to their home.
12:11 The AFB is also conducting verification.
12:16 But for now, there are enough security sites
12:21 that can be found inside the Philippine military bases.
12:25 We take all of these things seriously.
12:27 So we are conducting our internal investigation on the veracity of these reports,
12:32 what is their real intention towards this influx of these numbers.
12:37 For GM Integrated News, Oscar Oida, for 24 Hours.
12:42 The Mayor of Manila stopped the clamping of the vehicles caught in Mabuhay Lane
12:49 and Major Thorofare in their area.
12:52 Many are complaining about the improper implementation of this.
12:57 Marisol Abduraman was there. Exclusive.
13:00 Cars, SUVs, vans and other types of vehicles were clamped
13:12 during the operation of the Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau earlier
13:15 because it is illegal to stop in Mabuhay Lane and Major Thorofare.
13:19 Many are stubborn, many are naughty, they don't want to stop in the right place.
13:26 In Mabuhay Lane, there is a residential area, they don't have parking and they will leave the vehicle there.
13:32 The whole day, sometimes the whole night.
13:35 These are the reasons of the heavy traffic on the roads.
13:39 If they are obstructing, then the vehicles passing by, like jeeps, buses, we should continue there.
13:47 The clamped vehicle is P900.00, it can be a motorcycle or a four-wheeled vehicle.
13:52 It is more expensive if it is in the impounding area.
13:55 The operation of the MTPB on three-wheeled vehicles was also postponed.
14:03 Here in the impounding area of the MTPB in Central Market, these tricycles were stopped.
14:08 These are the e-treks that were last to pass the National Road.
14:12 That's why the owners and drivers of these vehicles are coming here to finish the said tricycles.
14:18 There are people who are talking.
14:20 I will just bring a senior to Cubao.
14:25 He will buy tickets.
14:27 Of course, it is hot, so he can ride.
14:30 But there are also those who are angry and fighting, but they did nothing but to file a complaint.
14:37 Don't cross the National Road.
14:39 We are inside the street.
14:42 If you don't have enough, you will just go out.
14:44 You will pay for the hard work.
14:47 We will not get it if we don't pay.
14:50 I will go back to Pedrohel.
14:52 We will just pay so that we don't have to worry.
14:55 According to the owners of the MTPB, they have been warning for a long time that it is prohibited to cross the National Road.
15:01 We are just giving a violation to those who cannot avail of that.
15:08 But we are really giving a lesson to those who are really annoying.
15:13 We are always caught on the National Road.
15:18 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abdurrahman, for Tuto 24 Hours.
15:29 We are happy to report that we were able to complete our medical mission in Santa Marcela, Apayao.
15:37 As part of the help of the Kalusugan Caravan, a polio-affected man is helping his fellowmen without asking for anything in return.
15:47 Because of the polio, Robert's walk was affected.
15:55 Sometimes, his toes also hurt.
15:59 But this feeling was not denied by Robert, who is eagerly taking care of his family
16:05 in the construction of a basket that happened in the seagrass.
16:09 Since then until now, this is our situation.
16:13 We are looking for a job, ma'am, but we have nothing to eat.
16:18 Despite his condition, he is also the one who is being chased by his old neighbors.
16:26 So if they need anything, I call them to buy medicine and get it checked up.
16:34 In fact, Robert also volunteered to bring his neighbors to the Kalusugan Caravan of the GMA Capuso Foundation using his tricycle.
16:46 They also consulted the whole family.
16:49 RS is a 42-year-old male, status post-polio syndrome.
16:53 He has lower extremity weakness, but he's still able to ambulate.
16:59 So what we did is we gave him a pain reliever because we can't strengthen his legs anymore.
17:06 It's really weak.
17:08 I also don't want to put braces because it's also heavy.
17:12 We also gave vitamins and medicine to Robert's children.
17:19 Because of the help of our doctors, volunteers, and sponsors,
17:25 we were able to meet the medical needs of more than 2,000 residents in Santa Marcela, Apayao.
17:33 It's amazing to think that we will share primary health care with our fellowmen.
17:40 Thank you very much to GMA because you came here, even though it's a remote place.
17:47 For those who want to join our projects, you can deposit in our bank accounts or send to Cebuana L'Oreal.
17:55 You can also do it online via GKa, Shopee, and Lazada.
17:59 Kapuso, you are a part of our #ItinKapuso project this summer.
18:08 GMA Kapuso Foundation will give you free teeth and teeth cleaning for those aged 16 to 60 years old.
18:16 Remember, you don't have to go to our office to register.
18:22 Just call the numbers flashed on your screen starting tomorrow, April 18, until April 23,
18:30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
18:34 From the cold snow in Canada, David Licauco is bringing the heat to his upcoming projects.
18:46 He is also more confident after their Canada tour.
18:51 Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.
18:58 Back to regular programming, David Licauco is from the Sparkle Goes to Canada Tour.
19:04 David feels more confident as a performer.
19:09 The Sparkle Stars are a big help to him.
19:12 They are with Julian San Jose and Raver Cruz, Ruru Madrid and Bianca Umali,
19:18 and especially, Barbie Forteza, his love team.
19:21 I'd like to think that it will get better.
19:24 I think in life, you just have to take the first step.
19:29 And you learn along the way how to become better on one thing.
19:34 So, I think with this, you know, I like dancing and singing in front of people.
19:40 His Canada trip is on the eve of his birthday.
19:43 He had to go home early to tape the show "Pulang Araw" and to secure his business.
19:49 Now, he's attending the media conference of the summer movie "GLU"
19:54 where he will be with Ruru and the GMA Afternoon Prime series of "Killing Stars"
20:00 Derek Monasterio and TJ Marquez.
20:03 Miss Universe Philippines' Top 10 finalist Michelle D is also in the movie.
20:07 They have been shooting the movie in La Union since 2019.
20:11 And finally, it will be released.
20:14 The movie is about friendship, family, love and gender issues.
20:19 I'm sure many will relate.
20:22 The cast's healthy competition for the body beauty is also in the heat.
20:29 I remember David and I wake up every day and jog in the whole LU.
20:33 Everyone at that time, of course, they want to show their best version of themselves.
20:38 And you can see that they're enjoying it and they're happy that we're inspiring each other.
20:43 Meanwhile, Derek and TJ are happy that they're receiving good feedback and high ratings.
20:51 They had their last taping day yesterday and they're looking forward to their finale.
20:57 It's sad but it's so beautiful what's going to happen.
21:01 It's so proud to watch people.
21:03 More than the show, more than the entertainment we bring to people,
21:09 I learned a lot of values. That's the most important.
21:14 Obrigada, Ampel. Updated to show this happening.
